Alaskan Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffins

Previous blueberry muffin recipes I've used have not done justice to the delicious Alaskan Blueberries so I've been in search for the perfect recipe. After trying this recipe, I think I found it! The not so secret ingredient is..... cream cheese!

I find the Alaskan blueberry to be.... not nearly as sweet as the ones you buy in the stores. Sweetly tart might be a fun way to describe them! I wanted an extra sweet muffin recipe to balance the flavors. Thank you Food.com for helping me with this recipe!

Sorry no pictures this time but I'll add some next time I bake them! :)
