Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in sour cream.
  4. Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
  5. Blend the softened cream cheese with a tablespoon of sugar until silky smooth.
  6. Spoon muffin batter into each cup about two-thirds full, add a dollop of cream cheese filling, then cover with more batter.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
