Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins

Recipe Description

These Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins are moist, flavorful, and delicious breakfast muffins, which burst with blueberries in every bite. This recipe also features a cream cheese filling that makes a perfect flavor combo with sweet blueberries.

These blueberry muffins are my new go-to summer recipe. Not only because they are extremely tender and fluffy, but also because they are so quick and easy to make. They are practically mess-free. You will need one large bowl for mixing the batter and the small one to whip up a cream cheese filling. The recipe calls for fresh blueberries, but if you decide to use frozen, do not thaw them. And make sure to add the frozen blueberries to the muffin batter just before baking. And the best part? You can serve these muffins warm! Enjoy!

To make the Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins, you will need the following ingredients:
