I like to make the batter first, then the cheesecake filling, and then the crumb topping. Once those are complete it’s time to assemble and bake!

Move your oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 425F.

Muffin Batter

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar.

Then add the eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.

Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt directly into the butter mixture and mix until just combined.

Fold in the frozen triple berry blend and set aside.

Cheesecake Filling

With a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth.

Then add in the egg yolk and sugar and beat again until smooth.

Set aside.

Crumb Topping

Melt the butter in the microwave in 20-second intervals until melted.

In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and melted butter. You can use a pastry cutter or you can use your hands, but you want to mix all the ingredients together until you have a crumb topping. It’ll look like little pebbles.

How to Assemble

Place your muffin liners in your muffin tin.

Take your scoop and fill the muffin liner about 1/3 full with the muffin batter.

Take a spoon and spoon in some of the cheesecake filling.

Scoop more muffin batter on top of the cheesecake filling until the muffin liner is about 3/4 full.

Top with the crumb topping.

Place your muffin tin in the oven and bake for 5  minutes at 425F. Then, without opening the oven door, reduce the heat to 350F and bake for another 14-18 minutes. Your muffins will have a golden dome-shaped top.

Store these in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days.

These triple berry cheesecake muffins with their irresistible crumb topping are sure to impress with every bite. The combination of tangy berries, creamy cheesecake, and the perfect crunch from the streusel makes them an unforgettable treat. Whether you’re baking for a crowd or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a muffin and a cup of tea, these muffins are a little bit of indulgence you can feel good about. So, grab your mixing bowls, embrace the berry goodness, and treat yourself to a batch of these decadent delights—you won’t regret it!
