After discovering this recipe, I’ve transformed my favorite blueberry cheesecake dessert into a cute pick-me-up muffin. The cream cheese gives it a longer lasting moistness and richness while that fresh zest of lemon keeps the cream cheese in check. Great balance of flavors, and it’s quick to make! Hurry and check out this recipe by Martha.

Time to make: 35 minutes

Ingredients

3 cups flour
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
Zest of 1 lemon
2 eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup butter, melted and cooled
1 cup fresh blueberries

Not only is this fruit-combo muffin mouth-watering and irresistible, it’s also surprisingly healthy and can boost metabolism. With no sugar, the bananas give it a natural sweetness that is perfectly paired with the honey (bananas + honey in anything = awesome). Pro Tips: (1) You can modify the yogurt for more protein (greek yogurt) or calcium, and (2) You can substitute honey with organic agave nectar.

This is the muffin that Edward Cullen from Twilight makes. It sparkles in the sun, and it tastes supernatural!

I really like the proportions in this recipe–the hint of cinnamon is exactly what you need to complement the coarse sugar. But be careful, when you go for a bite, this vampire muffin might bite you back. ;o Recipe by Sally.
