Ingredients
  

  • For the Muffins:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup milk whole or 2%
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • For the Cream Cheese Filling:
  • 8 oz 225g cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Paper liners or non-stick spray
  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • Toothpick or cake tester

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven:
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick spray.
  4. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:
  5. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  6. Prepare the Muffin Batter:
  7. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  8. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  9. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  10. Gently fold in the blueberries using a spatula.
  11. Assemble the Muffins:
  12. Fill each muffin cup with a tablespoon of batter, making sure it covers the bottom.
  13. Add about a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling to the center of each muffin cup, then top with more muffin batter until the cups are about 3/4 full.
  14. If desired, sprinkle a little extra granulated sugar on top for a crunchy finish.
  15. Bake:
  16. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the muffin (avoiding the cream cheese center) comes out clean.
  17. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
