Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line the cups with paper liners to ensure the muffins don’t stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined and aerated.
  3. Cream Butter and Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with sugar until creamy and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, incorporating each fully, then mix in the sour cream until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently to avoid overworking the batter which can make muffins tough.
  5. Add Blueberries and Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the batter. In a small bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with one tablespoon of sugar until smooth to create the filling.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon a portion of the muffin batter into each muffin cup, add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture in the center, then cover with more batter to enclose the filling.
  7. Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter (not the cream cheese center) comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for best results; frozen can be used but may affect texture and color.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
  • The cream cheese filling adds a delicious, tangy richness—ensure it’s softened before mixing for easy incorporation.
  • These muffins are best enjoyed within 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor.
