Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Nonstick cooking spray
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3/4 cup blueberries
1/4 cup coarse sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the cheesecake filling: Whisk together the cream cheese, sour cream and granulated sugar in a small bowl until well combined. Transfer to a medium plastic resealable bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • For the batter: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners and coat with nonstick spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, oil, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture until well combined and smooth. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Insert the tip into the center of each cup and pipe some of the cream cheese mixture into the batter. Sprinkle the top of each cup with 1 teaspoon coarse sugar.

Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Muffin Batter: The key to moist and fluffy muffins is not to overmix the batter. Once the dry ingredients are combined with the wet ingredients, mix just until the batter is evenly moistened. Overmixing will result in tough muffins.
  • Muffin Pan: Use a nonstick muffin pan or line the muffin cups with paper liners. This will prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan and make them easier to remove.
  • Muffin Size: The recipe yields 12 regular-sized muffins. If you want to make mini muffins, you can use a mini muffin pan and reduce the baking time by a few minutes.
  • Blueberry Surprise: The secret ingredient in these muffins is a layer of blueberry preserves. This adds a burst of sweetness and flavor to the muffins. You can use any type of blueberry preserves you like, but I recommend using a high-quality preserves that is made with real fruit.
  • Muffin Tops: To get perfectly golden brown muffin tops, sprinkle a little bit of sugar on the tops of the muffins before baking. This will help them caramelize in the oven.

Conclusion:

These blueberry muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The moist and fluffy muffins are packed with blueberries and have a delightful blueberry surprise in the center. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy muffin recipe, give these blueberry muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
