Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, cream cheese, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined. Coat blueberries in a teaspoon of flour and fold in gently.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Assemble the Dish: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, oats, and a little melted butter to form the crumble. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the muffins.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Finishing Touches: Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy warm, or cool completely and store for later.
Notes
- Dust blueberries with flour before adding to batter to prevent sinking.
- Chill batter for 20 minutes before baking to improve rise.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother mixing.
- Top with coarse sugar before baking for an extra crunch.
