Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1½ cups mixed fresh berries (blueberries and raspberries)
  • 6 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for filling)
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. In a bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, and salt for the streusel topping. Stir in melted butter until coarse crumbs form; set aside.

  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg and sugar until combined; add Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla.
  6. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  7. Carefully fold in half the berries.
  8. Spoon muffin mixture into liners, creating a dent in the center for cream cheese filling. Add cream cheese mixture and top with remaining berries.
  9. Sprinkle streusel topping generously over each muffin.
  10. Bake at reduced temperature of 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
