  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 14 muffins

Ingredients

– 2/3 cup all-purpose flour

– 1/3 cup light brown sugar

– 1/4 teaspoon salt

– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

– 1 cup all-purpose flour

– 1/4 teaspoon salt

– 1 teaspoon baking powder

– 1/4 cup vegetable oil

– 1/2 cup granulated sugar

– 1 large egg

– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

– 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

– 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (divided: 3/4 cup for batter, 3/4 cup for topping)

– 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour to toss blueberries

– 6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

– 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

– 1 teaspoon vanilla

– 1 teaspoon cornstarch

– 3/4 cup powdered sugar

– 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 teaspoons milk or cream

Instructions

1-First: preheat the oven to 425ยฐF (220ยฐC) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners to prevent sticking. Next, divide the blueberries by tossing 3/4 cup with 1 tablespoon flour; set aside the remaining 3/4 cup for topping to keep them from sinking.

2-Then, make the streusel by combining 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup light brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl, then add 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter and mix until coarse crumbs form.

3-Mixing and Baking Steps: 1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt for the muffin batter. 2. In another bowl, whisk 1 large egg with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, then add 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; mix well. 3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir by hand just until combined, then gently fold in the floured blueberries (3/4 cup). 4. For the cream cheese filling, combine 6 ounces room-temperature cream cheese, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon vanilla; mix until just combined. 5. Assemble by spooning about 1 1/2 tablespoons batter into each liner, creating a well, then adding 1 tablespoon filling, and topping with more batter to fill cups two-thirds full. Add reserved blueberries and streusel on top. 6. Bake at 425ยฐF for 5 minutes, then reduce to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and bake 22 to 25 minutes until golden. Cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. 7. Optionally, whisk 3/4 cup powdered sugar with 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 teaspoons milk or cream for a glaze and drizzle over cooled muffins.
