Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until they are well combined, ensuring even distribution of leavening agents.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then incorporate the sour cream until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb in the muffins.
  5. Add Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter ensuring they are evenly distributed while minimizing bursting.
  6. Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with one tablespoon of granulated sugar, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  7. Assemble Muffins: Spoon a portion of muffin batter into each muffin cup. Add a dollop of the cream cheese filling onto the center of the batter in each cup, then top with additional muffin batter to cover the filling.
  8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter (not the filling) comes out clean.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack or serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
  • Use fresh blueberries for best texture; frozen can be used but may increase moisture.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to blend easily with sugar.
  • Line muffin tins with paper liners for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Check muffins with a toothpick before removing from oven to avoid underbaking.
