Cheesecake Filled Blueberry Muffins

I recently decided to put a new springtime spin on an old favorite autumn recipe.

Every autumn one of the first pumpkin recipes I make is this Pumpkin Cheese Bread Recipe that everyone in my house loves.  I was thinking the other day that we hadn’t had any in a while.

I was tempted to make up a batch because I was craving something yummy and just so happened to have all of the ingredients on hand.

Then I got the idea that I could substitute any kind of muffin mix and they’d taste great with the cream cheese filling.

I just so happened to have a package of blueberry muffin mix on hand that I had gotten a few months ago on a deal.

Now don’t get me wrong, blueberry muffins are already a huge hit at my house with everyone (except my son), it only takes a few more extra ingredients to make them something the whole family will be talking about for days!
