These brownie-cheesecake cupcakes are similar to cheesecake-swirled brownies, but they're baked in muffin cups. They're easy to make with packaged brownie mix and a simple, no-egg cheesecake batter.

Ingredients

Brownie Batter:

1 (18.4 ounce) package brownie mix (such as Pillsbury®)
⅔ cup oil
2 large eggs
¼ cup water

Cheesecake Batter:

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Make the brownie batter: Mix brownie mix, oil, eggs, and water together in a bowl until well combined.
Make the cheesecake batter: Mix cream cheese, sugar, butter, flour, and vanilla together in a separate bowl.
Spoon brownie batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 1/2 full. Top with cheesecake batter, then spoon brownie batter over top. Reserve any remaining brownie batter for another use.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownie part comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
