Yep, the calendar says it’s April but we had sleet and snow overnight.

We didn’t get much snow, but it was still coming down when I woke up this morning.

Emily helped me make these bakery-style Blueberry Muffins with Cream Cheese Filling for breakfast.

Filled with thick cream cheese, these muffins are topped with a sweet and crunchy streusel topping that makes them out-of-this-world good.

Key to Success #1 – The Streusel Topping

A sprinkle of sugar, a touch of salt, and a whole lot of love – sounds like the perfect recipe for success!

With streusel being so simple to make, you can use it on pretty much anything.

The base is an easy combination; melted butter stirred together with flour and both sugars before that pinch of salt tops off your masterpiece.

Get creative: mash everything up with a fork in any small dish you’d prefer.

I’m personally partial towards cereal dishes myself.

When that light and fluffy creation looks just right, you know it’s Yum Yum time!

Key to Success #2 – The Cream Cheese Filling

In a small bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese and sugar.

You don’t need to drag out your mixer for this.

Just use a spoon to stir together the cream cheese and sugar.

It comes together really quickly if your cream cheese is at room temperature.

Tip! If you’re making this recipe when you just woke up and haven’t had a chance to soften your cream cheese, you can soften it in the microwave. Just pop it into the microwave on low/defrost setting for about 30 seconds.

Key to Success #3 – The Muffin Batter

The muffin batter is light and fluffy thanks to the addition of a bit of vinegar and a full cup of sour cream.

The vinegar reacts with the baking soda to make the muffins lighter. And the sour cream adds a good bit of moisture into the mix.

The result is a wonderful light and fluffy muffin.

This recipe makes a full 24 muffins.

I bake my blueberry muffins in two 12-cup muffin/cupcake pans.

I like USA pans because they are durable and hold up well to all my baking.

There’s no need to get out your mixer.

The muffins can be made with just a whisk and a spoon or spatula.

Either way, the batter comes together really easily.

I love using big, juicy blueberries in baked goods.

For this recipe, I used a 6-ounce container of fresh blueberries.

You can also use frozen blueberries that have been thawed.

Key to Success #4 – Layer it up

Be sure to spray your muffin liners with cooking spray or use a non-stick liner.

My favorite non-stick liners are the ones made of parchment paper.

You can get non-stick parchment muffin liners from Amazon or you can sometimes find them at the big craft stores.

They not be the prettiest things but they are well-worth it when you realize how perfectly your baked goods will come out of the wrapper when you use these.

Here’s the order:

1-2 Tablespoons muffin batter
1 teaspoon cream cheese filling
1 Tablespoon muffin batter
streusel topping

The amounts are pretty important. If you’re not careful, you’ll run out of ingredients before you fill all the muffin cups.

It’s worth mentioning that this recipe makes 24 regular sized muffins.

Tip! If in doubt, put less batter/filling than you think you need. You can always go back and add more if you have any leftover.

For the streusel topping, just sprinkle the topping over the batter then lightly press down with the back of a spoon. It does not have to be perfect.

These muffins bake up big and fluffy.

They’ll bake for about 18-22 minutes until they are a nice golden brown color.

You’ll want to allow them to rest a few minutes in the pan so that they can cool or otherwise, they’ll be difficult to remove from the wrapper.

These blueberry muffins are great for bake sales or family events. They travel well and taste delicious.
