Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins

Makes a dozen muffins.

For the filling, cream together the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Set aside.

For the muffins, combine dry ingredients in large bowl. In another bowl mix together beaten egg, oil and milk. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just moistened.

Spoon batter into muffin tins, filling halfway. Add a dollop of filling to each muffin. Top with more batter. Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes. When cool, dust with icing sugar (optional).
