  • 150 g fresh blueberries
  • 225 g cream cheese, softened

Instructions
 

  • Preheat convection oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, 50g granulated sugar, 1 egg yolk, and 2ml vanilla extract; whisk until the texture is homogenous and smooth.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 100g sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate vessel, whisk the whole egg, milk, vegetable oil, and remaining 5ml vanilla extract until emulsified.
  • Integrate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula, stirring until just combined to avoid gluten over-development.
  • Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
  • Deposit approximately 30ml (2 tbsp) of batter into the bottom of each muffin liner.
  • Place 15ml (1 tbsp) of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of the batter in each cup.
  • Distribute the remaining batter over the cream cheese filling to seal it.
  • Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 95°C (203°F) and the surfaces are golden brown.
  • Allow muffins to rest in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack for final cooling.
