How to Make
In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk eggs, oil (or butter), milk, and vanilla.
Combine wet and dry ingredients gently until just mixed.
Fold in the blueberries carefully.
In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
To make the crumble, mix flour and brown sugar, then rub in cold butter until crumbly.
Fill muffin cups halfway with batter.
Add a spoonful of cream cheese filling in the center.
Top with more batter, then sprinkle crumble topping generously.
Bake for 22–25 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Variations
Replace blueberries with raspberries or strawberries.
Add lemon zest to the batter for a citrus flavor.
Use whole wheat flour for a heartier muffin.
Add chopped nuts to the crumble for extra crunch.
Tips
Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins soft.
Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling.
Frozen blueberries should not be thawed before use.
Let muffins cool slightly so the cream cheese sets.
