Ingredients
  

  • 6 ounces 3/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 1 ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups all purpose flour To make these muffins gluten-free, I use a 1-to-1 gluten free flour like Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 baking flour.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup buttermilk or milk If you're using gluten-free flour add an additional 1/4 cup buttermilk or milk.
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries, raspberries or blackberries or a combination of Summer berries. Frozen berries will also work
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts and/or pecans optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place 24 cupcake liners in a cupcake/muffin baking pan.
  • Combine cream cheese and butter in a large bowl and beat with a mixer at high speed until thoroughly combined. Add sugar and beat until the batter is fluffy. Add the vanilla and eggs and continue to beat until combined.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and stir to combine.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add half of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Next, add the buttermilk and then add the rest of the flour mixture.
  • Gently fold in the berries.
  • Spoon the muffin batter evenly into the lined muffin cups and place about 1/2 tablespoon chopped nuts on top of each muffin. The nut topping is optional.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  • To add an optional vanilla glaze drizzle, combine 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon at a time of milk and mix with a whisk until desired consistency is reached. Add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix with a whisk. Drizzle on top of each cooled muffin using a spoon and waving it back and forth on top of the muffin.
