Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Main Flavor Ingredients

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients and oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it. Measure all your ingredients to ensure a smooth process.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and sweetness.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then stir in the milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Bring wet and dry together: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the muffins light and tender.
  5. Add cream cheese and blueberries: Fold in the small cubes of cream cheese and fresh blueberries gently to avoid breaking the berries apart and to keep the cream cheese evenly distributed.
  6. Bake to perfection: Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother mixture and better texture.
  • Fresh blueberries are preferred; if using frozen, add them directly without thawing to avoid color bleed.
  • Do not overmix the batter to prevent tough muffins and tunnels.
  • Freeze cream cheese before cubing to prevent sinking during baking.
  • Start checking muffins 5 minutes before the end of baking time as ovens vary.
