Blueberry Cheesecake Muffins

Hello Everyone Happy Friday!

Today I want to bring you the most delicious muffin's in the WORLD! (okay, maybe not the world but pretty darn close.) The cream cheese just makes these muffin so moist and crumbly and full of goodness. 

Ingredients:

Batter

- 1 ½ Cup Blueberries Fresh or Frozen - Note: I like to use frozen and then chop them into quarters

- 1 ½ Cup All Purpose Flour

- ¾ Cup Sugar - Note: I like to bake with all natural sugar alternatives to keep everyone in the offices new year’s resolutions on track.

- ½ Teaspoon Salt

- 2 Teaspoon Baking Powder

- 1/3 Cup Melted Butter

- 1 Large Egg

- 1/3 Cup Milk - Tip: I like to bake with Buttermilk

- ½ Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

Filling

- 1 8oz Package of Cream Cheese

- ¼ Cup Sugar

Optional 

 - 2 Tablespoon Brown Sugar

-Fresh Blueberries for top

Directions

- Preheat oven to 400 F

- Line muffin tin with liners

- Mix muffin dry ingredients in large bowl (without the blueberries) combine and cream wet ingredients about 2 minutes.  Tip: use a glass measuring cup to heat butter in the microwave in ten second intervals until melted

-  Combine cream cheese and sugar in a medium bowl about 2 minutes until creamy. Tip: use a glass measuring cup to heat cream cheese in the microwave in ten second intervals until it begins to get soft

- Fold blueberries into batter just enough to toss blueberries in batter, be sure not to over mix

- Fill liner in muffin tin ¼ of the way with batter

- Spoon 2 teaspoon filling into center of tin

- Cover filling with remaining batter until ¾ full in tin

** It is optional to sprinkle brown sugar and fresh blueberries on the tops of the muffins before baking **

- Bake 17-22 minutes until golden brown

- Remove from oven and place tin onto cooling rack about 10 minutes

- Remove muffins from tin and allow to cool on cooling rack until they reach room temperature.

Enjoy! Leftovers (if there are any) can be kept in the refrigerator and rewarmed before serving.

**BONUS!!**

If you are running super late or need a last minute recipe and do not have the time to bake from scratch you can follow the same recipe with batter made from pre-made muffin mix. 

 Have a great weekend and please let me  know if you made the muffins or any other recipe you would like to share. I just love to hear your thoughts on my recipes.
