Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Blueberry muffins with a cream cheese filling have a rich history dating back to the 19th century. This delightful twist on the classic blueberry muffin has gained popularity in recent years, especially in the United States. Renowned chefs like Ina Garten and Martha Stewart have featured their own versions of this delectable treat, adding to its allure. The best version of this dish can be found in quaint bakeries across New England, where the marriage of sweet blueberries and creamy cheese filling is perfected. To achieve the ideal texture, it's crucial to strike the right balance between the moist blueberry muffin and the luscious cream cheese filling. This can be achieved by using high-quality ingredients and ensuring the cream cheese filling is evenly distributed within the muffin. For those looking to experiment, an alternative method involves swirling the cream cheese filling into the blueberry muffin batter, creating a marbled effect that's equally enticing. Whether enjoyed as a breakfast indulgence or a delightful afternoon snack, blueberry muffins with a cream cheese filling are a true delight for the senses.
