How to make Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F. And with paper liners, line 6 cupcake wells.
Step 2: To prepare the crumbs, combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the butter until crumbly.
Step 3: For the cream cheese filling, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until creamy.
Step 4: Ready the muffins: Start by whisking the sugar and egg. Add in the sour cream followed by the dry ingredients. Fold in the blueberries, reserving some for later. Into the bottom of the prepared muffin cups, spoon some of the batter, top with a dollop of cream cheese, and add more batter. Finally, place the reserved blueberries and streusel on top. Bake in a 400 degrees oven for about 5 minutes. Decrease the oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake for another 15 minutes.
