Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins

I love this easy recipe for Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins.  My Mother In Law made these muffins for us when we were visiting her and it quickly became of one my favorite breakfast recipes.  I love that it uses a Cake Mix, it is a great stockpile recipe.  You could easily use a gluten free cake mix to make these gluten free!  This is also a great FREEZER Recipe too! Just prepare and flash freeze by placing the muffins on a cookie sheet and sticking into the freezer for an hour.  Next simply place into an airtight container and date. When you are ready to eat simply thaw on the counter and enjoy!  I do want to mention that they are best warm so if you freeze them and thaw, right when you are ready to enjoy heat up in the microwave for a few seconds.

To prepare heat your oven to 375. Grease bottoms of 24 medium muffin cups with shortening or line with paper baking cups. Beat cake mix, milk, oil, cream cheese and egg whites in a large bowl with electric mixer on low speed 3 minutes; beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Gently stir in blueberries. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Sprinkle with sugar crystals. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm or cool. Store tightly covered at room temperature. Makes 24 muffins.

Did you know that you can freeze cream cheese?  It works great and saves money!  I like to purchase cream cheese in bulk on sale and stockpile it for recipes.  Check out this post Can You Freeze Cream Cheese to find out how!  Be sure to check out more breakfast recipes like this Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffin on our Pinterest Boards!
