Fudge Brownie Muffins with Cheesecake Swirl

My sister Jordan made these for a family get together and I loved them! I didn't want to lose the recipe, so I am putting it up here - Jo can make any notations in the comments section since I obviously haven't made them myself yet. These are AMAZING - basically because I do not like brownies, seriously, and I can eat all of these right up!

Enjoy!

Brownie
1 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup cocoa
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp cinnamon

Cheesecake
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese; softened
1 egg
1/3 cup white sugar

Mini chocolate chips (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 24 muffin cups with liners and lightly spray them with non stick cooking spray.
2. Place butter and cocoa in a glass bowl and microwave on high 1 minute for until butter melts; set aside.
3. Combine 4 eggs, 2 cups sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the butter and chocolate mixture, flour, and cinnamon. Stir until blended.
4. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1 egg, and 1/3 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
5. Fill muffin cups with brownie batter about half way full. Sprinkle on a few mini chocolate chips (if desired). Drop 1 TBSP of cheesecake batter into each muffin cup.
6. Using a toothpick, swirl a little of the brownie batter up into the cheesecake.
7. Bake for 25 minutes. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove to racks to cool completely. Refrigerate leftovers.

*Freeze well.
