Ingredients
Cream Cheese Filling:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
Blueberry Muffins:
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup (67 g) granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, room temperature and beaten
- ¾ cup (184 g) milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 pint blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, use a handheld mixer to blend the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Mix the Muffin Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In another bowl, whisk the beaten egg, milk, and oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Assemble the Muffins: Fill each muffin cup about halfway with batter. Add about one tablespoon of cream cheese filling into the center, then top with more muffin batter until cups are about ¾ full.
- Bake: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin comes out with just a few crumbs. Let the muffins cool before serving
Notes
Serve your Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins warm or at room temperature for the best taste and texture. The sweet cream cheese center pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea. To store, place muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer freshness, refrigerate them for up to 5 days. You can also freeze these muffins for up to 2 months—just wrap each one in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in the microwave for 15–20 seconds or in a preheated oven at 325°F for about 10 minutes to restore their softness and warmth.
