Ingredients
  

For the muffins
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries For that juicy burst of flavor.
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour The base for that fluffy muffin.
  • 0.5 cup cream cheese, softened For a rich, creamy center.
  • 0.5 cup sugar To sweeten the deal.
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened Adds to the richness.
  • 2 large eggs For a delightful structure.
  • 0.5 cup milk To keep it moist.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder The secret to fluffiness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For an aromatic touch.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt To balance the flavors.
For the cream cheese filling
  • 1 tablespoon sugar To sweeten the cream cheese.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. In another mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy—this should take about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and then add the milk and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  6. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  7. In a separate small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with a bit of sugar until smooth.
  8. Start by filling each muffin cup about one-third full with the batter. Add a dollop of cream cheese, and then top with more batter until each cup is filled about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow muffins to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  11. Enjoy your delicious creations!
