Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of light brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Pour in 4 tablespoons of melted butter, mixing with a fork until coarse crumbs form. Set the streusel topping aside.
- In a separate bowl, blend 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until pale yellow and slightly thickened. Add 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula until just incorporated.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of mixed berries into the batter.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. Spoon the batter into each muffin cup halfway and add the cream cheese filling in the center. Top with reserved berries.
- Sprinkle the prepared streusel topping over each muffin. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Optional: drizzle with a glaze made from powdered sugar and water.

Notes
For maximum flavor, use ripe, fresh berries. Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for smooth batter. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins fluffy.
