Berry Cheesecake Muffins
My children and I are very fortunate as my other significant half loves to cook and bake; and she does it very well too. Which my waist line can vouch for!
Anyway last night we were in for a treat as she was trying out this new recipe for blueberry cheesecake muffins! Here are some quick snaps of her home-baked masterpiece.
Not one to inflict cruel and unusual punishments on your folks (especially some high movitvated individuals with weighty issues) by just showing you the pics; I am posting her recipe here so that you (or your significant half) can also try this out over the weekend! Enjoy!
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Total cooking time: 30 minutes
Makes 6 large muffins
1 ¾ cups self-raising flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup oil
2 tablespoons raspberry jam
¼ cup mixed berry yoghurt
½ cup caster sugar
50g cream cheese
1 tablespoon raspberry jam, extra, for filling
icing sugar, sifted, for dusting
1. Preheat oven to 180ºC. Brush a 6-hole muffin tin (large-cup capacity) with melted butter or oil. Sift the flour into a large bowl; make a well in the centre. Add the combined eggs, oil, jam, yogurt and sugar all at once. Mix the batter until just combined. (Do not over-beat; batter should look quite lumpy).
2. Spoon three-quarters of the mixture into prepared tin. Cut the cream cheese into 6 equal portions and place a portion on the centre of each muffin. Spread tops with jam; cover with remaining muffin batter.
3. Bake 30 minutes or until muffins are golden brown. Loosen muffins with a flat-bladed knife then turn onto wire rack to cool. Dust muffins with icing sugar to serve.

Thanks for sharing the recipe, we'll give it a go.
Two of my favorite things in life..
Bilberry or blueberry which improves night vision of the bilberry-eating RAF pilots eventually identified compounds in the berry called anthocyanosides and tannins.
and of course... bakery products = muffins, scones and cakes... slurpssss yummy
