Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the blueberries.
- In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the muffin batter. Then, spoon a small dollop of the cheesecake mixture on top of each muffin and swirl with a toothpick or knife to create a marble effect.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
Notes
- For an extra burst of blueberry flavor, sprinkle the muffins with a little sugar before baking.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them to prevent the batter from becoming too runny.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
