Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prep:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Make the Batter:
    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined — be careful not to overmix.
  5. Add Blueberries:
    Fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them.
  6. Prepare Cream Cheese Filling:
    In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese with sugar and egg yolk until creamy and smooth.
  7. Assemble Muffins:
    Spoon the muffin batter evenly into the prepared tin, filling each cup halfway.
    Drop a generous teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each muffin cup.
    Top with the remaining muffin batter, filling cups about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake:
    Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool:
    Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions:

Enjoy these muffins warm for a melty cream cheese surprise or at room temperature with your morning coffee or tea. They also make a wonderful sweet snack anytime during the day.


Storage Tips:

  • Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Refrigeration: Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
  • Reheating: Warm briefly in the microwave or oven for that fresh-baked feel.
  • Freezing: Freeze muffins individually wrapped for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes! Thaw and pat dry frozen blueberries before folding into the batter to prevent extra moisture.

Can I substitute the cream cheese filling?
Absolutely! Try lemon curd, raspberry jam, or Nutella for a fun twist.

Can I prepare muffins ahead?
Yes! Assemble muffins and refrigerate overnight. Bake fresh the next day.

Can I double the recipe?
