Ingredients
  

For the Muffin Batter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries substitute frozen, but do not thaw
For the Cream Cheese Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Tip: Avoid overmixing to keep your muffins tender!
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to smash them.
Cream Cheese Filling
  1. In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.
  2. Spoon about one tablespoon of muffin batter into each liner, followed by about one teaspoon of cream cheese filling, and top it off with another tablespoon of muffin batter.
  3. Tip: Swirl a toothpick gently through the batter and cream cheese for a marbled effect!
  4. Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
