Instructions
Creating Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins is simple and straightforward. Just follow these steps for success:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir in the softened cream cheese until smooth.
4. Add Blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve Warm: These muffins are best enjoyed warm, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for later.
With these straightforward steps, you’ll have a batch of delicious muffins that are sure to impress your family and friends.
