2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup milk (whole or 2%)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually add dry ingredients, alternating with milk, mixing until just combined.
Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp flour (to prevent sinking) and gently fold into batter.
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
