Ingredients

  • For the muffins:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed lightly in flour)
  • For the cream cheese filling:
  • 6 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, and oil until combined.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in blueberries carefully without overmixing.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.
  7. Fill muffin cups about ⅔ full with batter. Add a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture on top and swirl with a toothpick.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Frozen blueberries work well — do not thaw before adding.
  • Add a crumb topping for bakery-style texture.
  • For a citrus twist, add lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter — mix just until combined for light, fluffy muffins.
  • Can be made gluten-free with a 1:1 GF flour blend.
