• 66 g Brown sugar 1/3 cup
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 60 g Melted butter 1/3 cup
• 1/3 cup Blueberries

Muffins batter

• 180 g All-purpose flour 1,5 cup
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 80 ml Vegetable oil 1/3 cup
• 150 g Sugar 3/4
• 2 Eggs
• 180 g Plain yogurt 3/4 cup
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 1 tbsp All-purpose Flour
• 1 tsp Vanilla Optional

Cream Cheese Filling

• 170 g Cream cheese 6oz
• 30 g Sugar 2,5 tbsp
• 10 g Cornstarch 1 tbsp
• 2 tsp Dried lemon zest You can add fresh lemon zest, lemon extract, orange or vanilla extract

Instructions

 

Crumb Topping

• Mix the flour, salt, and sugar together.
• Add the cooled melted butter and combine everything together.
• The mixture should stay crumbly.

Cream Cheese Filling

• The cream cheese should be at room temperature.
• To the cream cheese, add the sugar, cornstarch, and flavor of choice and mix together to combine.

Muffins Batter

• Preheat the oven to 175 °C / 347°F.
• Add the 1 tablespoon of flour to the blueberries, make sure they are well coated in flour, and leave them on the side for when the batter is ready.
• Prepare the dry ingredients by adding the salt and baking powder to the flour and mixing to combine.
• Beat the eggs and the sugar together until the mixture whitens and thickens.
• Add the vegetable oil while continuously mixing, then add the yogurt and mix until well incorporated.
• Sift in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix shortly to incorporate. Do not overmix at this point.
• Add the flour-coated blueberries and gently fold them into the batter using a spatula.
• If you prepare the batter in advance of the rest of the ingredients, only fold in the blueberries right before baking so they don't sink.

Baking

• If you are baking the muffins directly in a metal or silicon mold, you might want to spray them with some oil or cover them with butter before adding the batter.
• Fill the baking tins or wrappers until about the third with the batter.
• Add about 1,5 tbsp of the cream cheese filling in the center. Using a piping bag makes it easier to center the filling.
• Cover the filling with the rest of the batter, until about the 2 thirds way up.
• Add some blueberries to the top and a generous amount of the streusel or crumb topping. Add more blueberries and cover again with the streusel.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
• Enjoy!
