Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup white sugar
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup fresh blueberries

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
Stir flour, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl; set aside.
Beat eggs with an electric mixer in a bowl on medium speed until light and frothy. Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add sugar and mix to form a smooth paste. Add beaten eggs and beat with an electric mixer until a smooth creamy batter forms, 4 to 5 minutes.
Fold cream and blueberries into the batter and mix until just combined. Add flour mixture and fold in just until absorbed.
Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed and muffins are lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
