Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
In another bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk.
Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.
In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
Fill muffin cups halfway with batter, then add a dollop of cream cheese mixture, and cover with more batter until three-quarters full.
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar topping over the filled muffin cups.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving.

To achieve a golden top, place muffins on the upper rack during the last few minutes of baking.
