Triple Berry Cheesecake Muffins

Triple Berry Cheesecake Muffins! Juicy berries, a luscious cheesecake layer, and some heavy streusel on top to finish it off. Baked to perfection!

Things can’t be as bad as they seem because Triple Berry Cheesecake Muffins are here and they are HAPPENING.

These babies are divas. They are studded with three types of juicy berries, swirled with a luscious cheesecake layer, and heavily streuseled. They are fluffy but also dense, crumbly but also juicy, sweet but also highly snackable, if you consider something with the word “cheesecake” in the name to be a snack. I did add a bit more salt but I often do that in baked goods to increase the sweet/salty contrast. I got 12 muffins and the baking time was spot-on for me. The perfect amount of streusel.
