“Strange thing, until now, our cookbook has not had a blueberry muffin recipe. We’ve had strawberry, blackberry, cranberry, applesauce, banana .. but no blueberry! That changes today. And since every muffin is better with cream cheese, here you go!” – April Ferre

Muffins:
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin pans with paper baking cups.
- Make the topping by stirring together all topping ingredients with a fork in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.
- Make the cream cheese filling: in a small bowl combine cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Beat eggs with an electric mixer until thick and frothy. Mix in sugar and oil; beat until creamy. Add vanilla, lemon zest, baking soda, and salt, mix to combine. Add vinegar, mix well. Mix in sour cream. Add flour and stir with a wooden spoon (batter may be slightly lumpy.) Stir in blueberries.
