How to Make Berry Cheesecake Muffins
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and grease them with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 large egg until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in 1 cup fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, strawberries – avoid frozen).
- Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter.
- Drop a rounded tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each muffin.
- For the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Cut in 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffin batter.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm and enjoy! Refrigerate leftovers.
