Make these moist and fluffy blueberry cream cheese muffins for a quick breakfast or snack. They feature a sweet, tangy cream cheese center and are simple to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1 large egg yolk (for filling)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, 2 eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  6. Prepare the cream cheese filling: In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, egg yolk, and lemon juice until smooth.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about halfway with the batter.
  8. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of the batter in each cup.
  9. Top with a little more batter to cover the cream cheese filling slightly.
  10. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin part (avoiding the center filling) comes out clean.
  11. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a bakery style muffin, fill the liners 3/4 full with batter.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • You can easily adapt this recipe by substituting strawberries or cinnamon swirl for the blueberries.
