Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Prepare the cream cheese filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Make the muffin batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the vegetable oil, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  4. Assemble the muffins: Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter. Add a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture to the center of each muffin, then top with more batter until the cups are ¾ full.
  5. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture. Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in dense muffins. For extra tanginess, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese filling. Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
