Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened and cut into small cubes
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Toss the blueberries in the 2 tablespoons of flour to coat them lightly. Gently fold the blueberries and cream cheese cubes into the batter.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for best results, but frozen can be used without thawing. Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent dense muffins. Optional: Add a streusel topping for extra flavor.
