Description

Hearty but light blueberry muffins, with cream cheese baked right on top.

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
  • ⅓ cups Evaporated Cane Juice, Or Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ¾ cups Plus 2 Tablespoons Low Fat Buttermilk, Well-shaken
  • 1 whole Large Egg
  • 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pint Fresh Blueberries
  • ¼ cups Neufchatel Cream Cheese, At Room Temperature
  • 1 Tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 Tablespoon Turbinado Sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin, or line with muffin cups.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, evaporated cane juice, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, oil, and vanilla extract.

Toss the blueberries with the flour mixture. Add the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until incorporated.

In a small bowl, stir together the neufchatel and maple syrup.

Divide the batter evenly amongst the prepared muffin cups. Make a small well in the center of each batter-filled muffin cup. Fill each well with 1 teaspoon of the sweetened neufchatel. Sprinkle each filled cup with a bit of the turbinado sugar.

Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (cream cheese sticking to the toothpick is fine, but no raw batter), about 15 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes; transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

I’m not much of a blueberry muffin fan, but these made a convert out of me. I will definitely be making these again as they were a huge hit with my husband and his co-workers! Thanks!
