My Blueberry Mascarpone Muffins are extra creamy and perfect for Mother’s Day breakfast, brunch or an afternoon snack!

This is an easy homemade blueberry muffin recipe that uses mascarpone cheese for extra creaminess. I also had mascarpone in the fridge and needed to use it; so why not make Blueberry Mascarpone Muffins. If you do not have mascarpone, you can also substitute cream cheese.

I first made these muffins for my daughter’s soccer team for a morning snack after their game.

Fall soccer has already started and we have our first out-of-town tournament over Labor Day weekend. During tournament weekends we usually bring breakfast for the girls and the parents. The girls took second place in this tournament. Maybe my mini muffins slowed them down.

I will make these Blueberry Mascarpone Muffins again for our next tournament but maybe I will wait until after the final game when they take first place.

Blueberry Mascarpone Muffins

METHOD:

To make the muffins pre-heat your oven to 375°F. Line a 36 cup mini muffin pan with paper liners. You can also make regular size muffins if so line a 12 cup muffin pan.

Lightly spray the liners and the top of the pan with non-stick cooking spray. Add butter and mascarpone cheese to mixing bowl and beat on high until combined.

Scrape down the sides and add lemon zest and salt. Beat until creamy. Add the sugar to the mixture slowly, and beat well. Scrape down the sides of bowl as needed. Add and beat in eggs, one at a time.

In another small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, sour cream, and vanilla. Add slowly to mixing bowl. Beat until combined Sift flour, baking powder and baking soda in a separate bowl.

Slowly add flour to mixing bowl, (reserving about 1/4 cup). Mix on slow to combine making sure not to over-mix. Toss blueberries with reserved 1/4 cup flour mixture. Gently fold in blueberries into the muffin batter.

Fill each baking cup to 2/3 full and bare for 9 -13 minutes until muffins turn brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. (If making regular size muffins bake for 15-20 minutes)  Cool 5 minutes in the pan before turning out muffins on a cooling rack.

    Great idea to use mascarpone in your muffins – I just happen to have an extra container (left over from my Tiramisu). Looks like a soccer tournament – congrats to your daughter. I attended many games… Happy Fiesta Friday – I will take at least two 🙂

      I was in the same boat with extra mascarpone in the fridge and I thought why not. They turned out great. Happy FF!

            For Father’s Day my kids leave me to go to camp for a week. Hopefully I get to watch the US Open on Sunday. My Father’s Day treat to myself. Hopefully I will not have to cook. :))))

      Thanks Julie.. Yeah I wish I would shown a few more blueberries in the pic, but they turned out good for being a mini muffin. Not a lot of real estate in the little treats. :))
