Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with muffin cups. Set aside.
- Next, prepare your graham cracker streusel topping by placing 3 graham cracker sheets in a Ziploc bag, seal, and crush into crumbs with hands or a rolling pin. I like leaving a couple larger crumbs for more texture and crunch.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Once melted, add in graham cracker crumbs, flour, brown sugar, and stir until well combined. Set aside.
- Next, prepare cheesecake filling by combining the softened cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl and mixing until nice and creamy. Set aside.
- Prepare your blueberry muffin batter by combining the oil, egg, milk, and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined. Next add in the sugar and stir until fully combined.
- Lastly, add in the flour 1/2 cup at a time and gently stir your batter being careful to not over mix it. You want to stir until JUST combined. The batter will be thick and it's okay if there is still some flour showing. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful to not squish them.
- Using this small cookie scoop, fill each muffin cup with about 1 tablespoon of batter. You want the bottom of the muffin cup to be covered.
- Next, add a few blueberries on top of the batter and place one teaspoon of the cheesecake filling to the center of each muffin cup. Carefully smooth down the top of the cheesecake batter with a spoon.
- Lastly, sprinkle each muffin cup with as much of the graham cracker streusel as desired.
- Bake blueberry cheesecake muffins in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until muffins are a golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire cooling rack until ready to eat.
CHEESECAKE-STUFFED BLUEBERRY MUFFIN
Bran muffins beware -- beneath the sugary tops of these dump-and-stir blueberry muffins is a creamy cheesecake surprise that makes them the only muffin you'll crave. Eat them for breakfast or dessert and add a little lemon zest to the batter if you like yours with some citrus zing.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the cheesecake filling: Whisk together the cream cheese, sour cream and granulated sugar in a small bowl until well combined. Transfer to a medium plastic resealable bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the batter: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners and coat with nonstick spray.
- Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, oil, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture until well combined and smooth. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters of the way with batter. Snip the tip off the plastic bag. Insert the tip into the center of each cup and pipe some of the cream cheese mixture into the batter. Sprinkle the top of each cup with 1 teaspoon coarse sugar. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the side the muffins come out clean (not the cream cheese center), 14 to 16 minutes. Cool the muffins in the pan on a rack. Serve at room temperature.
