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

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Cream Cheese Filling

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat 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 ensure easy removal of muffins after baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents and seasoning.
  3. Prepare wet mixture: In another bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and sugar together until creamy and smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the sour cream until the batter is smooth and cohesive.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Be careful not to over-mix to keep the muffins tender and light.
  5. Add blueberries and cream cheese filling: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter. In a separate small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with an additional tablespoon of sugar until creamy. This filling will create a delicious, tangy surprise inside each muffin.
  6. Assemble muffins: Spoon a portion of the muffin batter into each prepared muffin cup. Add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top of the batter in each cup, then cover with more muffin batter to seal the filling inside.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow muffins to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Do not over-mix the batter to keep muffins tender and fluffy.
  • Use fresh blueberries for the best texture; frozen can be used but may make the batter slightly wet.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing for a smooth filling.
  • Line your muffin tin with paper liners for easier cleanup.
  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
