Indulge in the delicious combination of sweet blueberries and creamy, cheesy filling with easy-to-make blueberry cream cheese muffins. They're fantastic for breakfast, brunch or an afternoon snack.

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
6 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
FILLING:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
Dash salt

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the blueberries. Spoon about 2 round tablespoonfuls into greased muffin cups.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, egg, sugar and salt; place about 1 tablespoon in the center of each muffin cup (do not spread). Top with remaining batter.
Bake at 375° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in muffin comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
