Step-by-Step Instructions for Berry Cream Cheese Muffins
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Pour in 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter, then mix until coarse crumbs form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until incorporated.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until combined. Set it aside.
- Combine 1 large egg, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until creamy.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until combined, then fold in half of the mixed berries.
- Line a muffin tin with liners or grease it lightly. Spoon 1½ tablespoons of batter into each cup. Add about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese filling, then top with remaining berries.
- Sprinkle the streusel mixture over each muffin and press down gently to adhere.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes, lowering the temperature to 350°F (175°C) after 5 minutes.
- Allow the muffins to cool for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. For glazing, mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk until smooth and drizzle over the cooled muffins.

Notes
Avoid overmixing the batter for fluffier muffins. Use small, firm berries for best results. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 day at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
