Very moist blueberry oatmeal muffins with a center layer of luscious 
lemon cheesecake. A recipe to make a weekend brunch extra special.

Prep: 20 mins
Cook: 30 mins
Total: 50 mins

Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare 12 muffin cups with large paper liners.

Begin by soaking together the rolled oats and buttermilk for 10 
minutes. If you don't have buttermilk, combine 2T lemon juice with 
enough milk to make 1C. Or you can use Saco brand cultured buttermilk 
blend powder.

While the oats are soaking cream together the 1/4 cup sugar, cream 
cheese, lemon zest until well blended then set aside

Sift together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and 
salt. Set aside.

Add the beaten egg and melted butter to the oatmeal mixture then stir 
until well blended.

Fold in the dry ingredients just until incorporated, then gently stir 
in the blueberries.

Spoon half of the batter into the muffin cups. Spoon in the lemon 
cream cheese mixture on top of the batter distributing it evenly 
among the 12 muffin cups. Top with a final layer of the blueberry 
oatmeal batter and bake at 350F for 25- 30 minutes or until a wooden 
toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If using frozen 
blueberries they may take a few extra minutes. Allow these to cool 
before serving. These also freeze exceptionally well.

Review: I made these a few times. I added the brown sugar and vanilla 
to the oatmeal mixture. Recipe is good as is except make 14 muffins 
if you don't want them to overflow. Delicious!
