Ingredients

Units Scale
Blueberry Batter
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups white granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 cups blueberries
Cream Cheese Filling
  • 6 ounces cream cheese
  • 3 tablespoons white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Topping
  • sugar
 

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, add the butter and white sugar. Blend together with a hand mixer until combined.
  2. Add in the eggs and blend together again
  3. Now go in with the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and buttermilk. Blend once again just until combined.
  4. Add the flour, salt and baking powder. Fold this together until fully combined and no more dry ingredient streaks are seen.
  5. Fold in the blueberries and set aside.
  6. In a separate bowl make the cream cheese filling by adding cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and cornstarch to the bowl. Blend together with a hand mixer.
  7. In the prepared muffin pan, scoop a large ¼ cup of batter into each liner.
  8. Flatten slightly with a spoon because this muffin batter is thick. Then go in with a small teaspoonful of the cream cheese mixture and place in the center of each batter.
  9. Top the cream cheese filling with more muffin batter in each muffin slot, filling each liner ⅘ of the way full. Sprinkle sugar on top of the batter.
  10. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the tops of the muffins are golden brown.
  11. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the muffin pan before removing to a wire rack.
