🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar
• 1 large egg yolk
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg until combined.

4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.

5. Fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to avoid breaking them.

6. In a medium bowl, prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

7. Spoon a tablespoon of the muffin batter into each muffin cup. Add about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each cup, then cover with another tablespoon of muffin batter. Ensure the cream cheese is completely covered.

8. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the muffin (not the cream cheese) comes out clean.

9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
