Orange Cream Cheese Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup orange juice
1 3/4 cups Bisquick baking mix
1/4 cup pecans
6 teaspoons orange marmalade (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F.
Grease muffin cups or line with paper baking cups; set aside.
Mix the first six ingredients together until just moistened.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.
Drop a dollop of the orange marmalade into the center of the muffins.
Bake for 20 minutes or until done.
Cool on rack for five minutes; serve while still warm.
I have substituted ricotta cheese for the cream cheese with good result.
