Muffin Preparation
Preheat the oven to 425 F, line cupcake pan with paper liners and set aside.
Divide blueberries in half. Toss ¾ cup of blueberries with 1 Tablespoon flour. Reserve remaining ¾ cup of blueberries for topping. Set them aside.
To make the crumb topping, stir together flour, sugar, and salt. Add melted butter and whisk with a fork until coarse crumbs form. Set aside.
To make the muffins, in a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together egg and granulated sugar until combined. Whisk in yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract.
Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix everything together by hand.
Fold in blueberries (¾ cup blueberries tossed with 1 Tablespoon flour). Reserve ¾ cup blueberries for topping.
Cream Cheese Filling and Assembly
To make the cream cheese filling, mix softened cream cheese, sugar, corn starch, and vanilla just to combine.
Add about 1 ½ Tablespoon of muffin mixture to each cup. Spread the mixture up the side of paper liners to make a small dent in the center. Drop 1 not quite a full Tablespoon of cream cheese mixture in the center of each muffin.
Fill each cup about ⅔ to ¾ full. Add a few blueberries on top, then generously top each muffin with streusel crumbs.
Add a few more blueberries on top and gently press the crumbs to stick to the muffin batter.
Place in preheated oven and reduce the temperature to 350 F. Bake 22-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the center has set.
Cool 5-10 minutes in the pan, then transfer the muffins onto a rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by stirring powdered sugar with milk or cream. Start with 1 teaspoon of liquid and gradually add more until the desired consistency is reached. Drizzle over muffins and serve.
