Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and eggs until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and sour cream, and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and 1 tablespoon of sugar until smooth and creamy.
Spoon a small amount of muffin batter into each muffin cup, followed by a dollop of the cream cheese filling. Top with more muffin batter to cover the cream cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are lightly golden on top.
Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These muffins freeze wonderfully, so you can have a batch on hand for busy mornings or unexpected guests.

If using frozen blueberries, toss them in a little flour before folding them into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.

For a vegan option, substitute the butter with a plant-based butter and use dairy-free cream cheese and an egg replacer in place of the eggs.

Sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top of the muffins before baking for an extra touch of sweetness and flavor.

If you prefer, replace the cream cheese filling with a simple streusel topping for a different flavor experience.
