Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda for about one minute.
  3. In a separate bowl, blend the butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth for about two minutes.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, making sure not to overmix.
  5. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and egg until creamy and smooth.
  6. Fill each muffin liner halfway with the muffin batter, add a dollop of cheesecake mixture, then top with more muffin batter.
  7. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, oats, and brown sugar to prepare the oat topping.
  8. Sprinkle the oat topping over each muffin and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then drizzle with glaze.
