Blueberry Muffins With Cream Cheese Streusel

These blueberry muffins with cream cheese streusel aren’t your ordinary blueberry muffins. They have just the right amount of blueberries, with a sweet creamy topping thats super moist and delicious!

Blueberry season is here! Making these blueberry muffins with cream cheese streusel is the perfect way to use up those delicious wild blueberries!

Blueberry muffins obviously have blueberries in them. But sometimes there can be too many blueberries in one muffin, and not enough muffin!

These muffins have the perfect amount of blueberries. Not too many, but not too few. There will be a piece of blueberry in every bite!

The batter for these muffins isn’t your typical muffin batter. Its not watery and runny. It’s more silky and stiff, if you will. Which is a good thing, because thats a sign of what will be a moist muffin!

Ok, I cant forget to talk about the delicious cream cheese streusel on top! It’s a mixture of melted butter, sugar, oats, flour and yup…cream cheese!

Usually, streusels are more dry and crumbly, which this mixture is after mixing almost all of the ingredients together.

But when you add the cream cheese, it will become sticky and creamy, unlike most streusels. And thats exactly the texture you want.

A little tip…its way easier mixing the cream cheese in with the crumble mixture with your hands!

There it is. It’s more of a doughy consistency than a crumble.

Again, because this streusel is sticky, it’ll be a little messy placing it on top of the muffins. But, thats ok! Thats what soap and water is for. To wash food off your hands!

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

For Cream Cheese Streusel

• 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/4 cup old fashioned oats OR quick oats
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp melted butter, unsalted

For The muffins

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1½ cups sour cream
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup blueberries – frozen, fresh or wild

Method

 

1. Preheat oven to 375°. Line muffin pan with liners. Set aside.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or hand held mixer, cream the butter and sugar together.
3. Add your eggs and mix well together.
4. Add vanilla, vinegar and sour cream. Mix just until combined.
5. Add flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until well combined. Make sure to not over mix. That can result in dry muffins!
6. Gently fold in blueberries into batter using a spatula.
7. Scoop batter into muffin liners, filling about half way with batter. Place streusel mixture on top of each muffin, making sure to use it sparingly so there is enough for each muffin.
8. Bake in preheated oven for 22-25 minutes. Insert a toothpick in middle of a muffin to make sure it comes out clean, knwoing they are done.
9. I thought these muffins tasted way better, and had a better texture the next day.
10. Store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or in the fridge for up to a week.
11. Enjoy!

Notes

*I used jumbo muffin liners for mine. The amount of muffins you will get will vary, depending on the size you use and the amount of batter you scoop into each.
