Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins combine a soft, bakery-style blueberry muffin with a rich, cheesecake-like center for a decadent breakfast or snack. Every bite is packed with juicy berries, tender crumb, and a creamy swirl that feels like a built-in frosting without any extra decorating.
Why you’ll love these muffins
These muffins follow the same basic structure as many cream cheese–filled blueberry muffin recipes: a simple stirred batter, a sweetened cream cheese filling, and a standard muffin bake time. The batter is mixed by hand (no mixer needed), which keeps the crumb tender instead of tough, while the cream cheese layer stays moist and slightly tangy in the center.
They’re also flexible—use fresh or frozen blueberries, add a streusel on top, or swap in raspberries instead of blueberries, just like the variations suggested in other cream cheese muffin recipes. The result is a coffee-shop–worthy muffin that’s easy enough for any home baker.
