Berry Cheesecake Muffins

by FH2o on April 28, 2006

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.

wah.. how many mahjong sets must I carry to exchange this wonderful delights from MH2o.

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
