Why You’ll Love…
These Blueberry Cheesecake Muffins are a perfect combination of fluffy blueberry muffins and creamy cheesecake! My favorite bite of these muffins is when you get a little bit of the cream cheese mixture and a juicy blueberry all in one bite! They so easy to make, you don’t even need a hand mixer to stir everything together! Just a bowl, a spatula, and a muffin pan, and you are ready to bake!
Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
For this recipe, you can use either fresh or frozen blueberries! If you are going to use frozen blueberries, be sure to take them straight from the freezer, add them to the batter and then bake! You don’t want them to thaw out too much, as that will release extra liquid into the batter!
I like to use fresh blueberries in the summer because they are so sweet and juicy! I can’t get enough blueberries in the summer!
Substitutions and Additions
We all love a classic blueberry muffin, but I have a few additions to spice up these muffins!
Lemon: Add some lemon zest and lemon juice to make a delicious lemon blueberry muffin!
White Chocolate: If you’ve never tried white chocolate and blueberries together, you are missing out!!! If you love how this sounds, be sure to check out my White Chocolate Blueberry muffins here!
Bump up the Blueberries: If you can’t get enough of blueberries this summer (I’m right there with you!), add a swirl of blueberry jam to the top of the muffins! That would give the perfect extra hit of sweetness to these muffins!
Equipment Needed:
Muffin Pan: One of the most important tools for making muffins!
Glass Bowl: This helps mix everything together! I like to use a large bowl and a small bowl for the dry ingredients! Always be sure to wipe down the sides of the bowl when you’re mixing everything together!
Muffin Liners: I always use muffin liners when I’m baking muffins to prevent anything from sticking to the pan when baking!

Storage Instructions:
Store these muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days! Because of the cream cheese element, I don’t recommend freezing these muffins!
Helpful Tips and Tricks
Be sure to set your cream cheese out a room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing together! It helps everything incorporate a bit easier!
I like to use a piping bag to dollop in the cheesecake filling; this makes it a bit easier to get in the middle and makes everything a bit cleaner! You can also use a plastic bag or just a spoon if you would like!
Blueberry and cream cheese together to create the best muffins you’ve had this summer! The tangy cheesecake mixture pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the blueberries! You won’t be able to eat just one of these sweet Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins! Trust me, I’m speaking from experience here!
