Blueberry Lemon Cream Cheese Muffins
- 1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1/2 cups Sugar
- 1 whole Lemon, Zested
- 1/4 cups Canola Oil
- 1 whole Egg
- 1/3 cups Skim Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Blueberries, Fresh Or Frozen
- _____
- FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FILLING:
- 3 Tablespoons Cream Cheese
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- Turbinado Sugar, For Sprinkling On Muffins
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a muffin pan or line the pan with muffin liners. Set aside.
- 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
- 3. In a small bowl, add the sugar and lemon zest. Rub sugar and zest together, until fragrant. Add to the flour mixture and whisk again.
- 4. In a separate medium bowl, mix canola oil, egg, milk, and vanilla together.
- 5. Incorporate the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Add slowly and do not over mix. The batter will be lumpy and thick. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- 6. In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon sugar until smooth. Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter. Next, add about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese filling to each muffin cup. Cover each cup with remaining batter so you can't see the cream cheese filling. Sprinkle each muffin with turbinado sugar.
- 7. Bake muffins for 17-20 minutes, or until muffins are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Let muffins cool on a cooking rack.
- Makes 9 regular size muffins.
