These Blueberry Oatmeal Lemon Cheesecake Muffins

I often share my baked treats with my co-workers at the university but I am not the only baker in the office. My work colleague, Tish, can knock out a mean cheesecake, office birthday cake or a terrific butter shortbread cookie with ease too.

She’s no slouch with muffins either, as she proved when she shared some of her version of these scrumptious morsels with us last week.

Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used in this recipe.

She got this idea from Kraft Canada’s website where they had posted it as a recipe for Philadelphia brand cream cheese. They are so delicious and moist and very hard to resist.

I love the combination of blueberry and oatmeal and this would make an outstanding muffin all on it’s own. The middle lemon cheesecake layer takes it way into super-delicious territory.

I have to admit I ate three of these for breakfast when I baked them one early morning this week. I’m already thinking about new variations of this fantastic recipe using different berries and luscious cheesecake varieties.

Lemon and blueberry are a naturally delicious flavour combination
