Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Set aside.
2. Make the Muffin Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine the melted butter, sour cream, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
3. Assemble the Muffins
Spoon half of the muffin batter into a lined muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway. Add a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture to each muffin cup, then top with the remaining batter.
4. Bake
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the muffins for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Expert Tips
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure your muffins stay tender and fluffy.
- For extra richness, sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top of the muffins before baking.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
FAQ
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. Just make sure not to thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent the color from bleeding.
How do I prevent the cream cheese from sinking to the bottom?
Make sure the cream cheese filling is thick enough. You can also chill it for 10-15 minutes before assembling the muffins to help it stay in place.
Can I make these muffins ahead of time?
Absolutely! These muffins taste great the next day. Store them in an airtight container or freeze them for longer storage.
