- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for cream cheese filling)
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
- In another bowl, mix oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- In a small bowl, beat cream cheese with 2 tablespoons sugar until smooth.
- Fill each muffin liner halfway with batter. Add a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture in the center, then top with remaining batter.

- Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for best results, but frozen will work too — do not thaw before adding.
- For extra sweetness, sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
