Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and mashed bananas.

In a separate bowl, beat together the egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.

In another bowl, beat the cream cheese with white sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Scoop a small amount of batter into each muffin cup, then add a dollop of cream cheese mixture on top, followed by more batter to cover.

If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips on top before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Allow muffins to cool completely before serving.
