Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins
This simple and easy recipe is an upgraded version of my to-go blueberry muffins. After the first one, I shared Lemon Blueberry Muffins and Blueberry Cobbler Muffins. As you already knew I am a huge fan of the blueberry and cream cheese combo. If you are too, you can check my Blueberry Crumble Cheesecake Pie, Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake, Blueberry Cheesecake Crumb Cake…
I love good homemade bakery-style muffins, but lately, I like to add cream cheese filling to my muffins. I did it with the Strawberry muffins recipe and Lemon Cream Cheese Muffins, too
How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins?
Making homemade muffins is super simple, even if you are not an experienced baker.
With just a few basic ingredients and fresh blueberries, in only half an hour you will have an outrageous breakfast to start your day.
Start with crumb topping. Whisk flour, brown sugar, and melted butter until all crumbs are evenly moistened, and make coarse crumbs.
Next prepare a cream cheese mixture. Beat cream cheese with sugar, vanilla, and corn-starch. To make the muffin batter you don’t even need to use a mixer. Just whisk flour, salt, and baking powder.
Using a whisk, beat an egg, sugar, oil, vanilla, and Greek yogurt. And don’t worry about the Greek yogurt. Many people asked how can replace yogurt in a recipe because they don’t like it. I always use yogurt in my muffin recipes because it makes the muffins super moist, but you can’t even taste it when the muffins are done.
When you whisk wet ingredients, next add dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Finally, fold in blueberries and divide the mixture in paper liners. Add cream cheese mixture, more blueberries, and crumb topping. Bake for about 22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Let them cool and enjoy.
