Ingredients
  

Streusel Crumb Topping:

  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted

Blueberry Muffins:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries divided: half for batter, half for topping
  • 1 tablespoon of flour to coat the blueberries.

Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 6 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Glaze:

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ – 2 ½ teaspoons milk or cream

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and salt. Drizzle the melted butter over the mixture and mix until it achieves a crumbly consistency. Set aside.
  • Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In another bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
  • Prepare the Muffin Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by placing paper liners in each cup or by greasing it with butter. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder, then whisk until well blended. In a separate large bowl, combine the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt. Whisk until smooth.
  • Carefully incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until they are barely combined. Do not overmix. Toss half of the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour and fold them into the batter.
  • Assemble the Muffins: Spoon the muffin batter into each liner until they are filled to about halfway. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese filling into the center of each muffin. Add more batter on top until each muffin cup is about ¾ full.
  • Sprinkle the remaining blueberries over the top, then add a generous amount of the prepared streusel topping.
  • Bake the Muffins: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (note that the cream cheese may leave it a bit moist). Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Add the Glaze: Once the muffins are cool, mix the powdered sugar with 1 ½ to 2 ½ teaspoons of milk or cream to create a smooth glaze.
