Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 4 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, sour cream, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins. Gently fold the blueberries and cream cheese cubes into the batter.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense muffins. Frozen blueberries can be used without thawing to prevent bleeding. Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
