3 eggs
3 tablespoons oil
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/4 cups vanilla whey protein powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup Splenda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 cup blueberries
3 ounces cream cheese, cut into 9 small cubes
non-stick spray or paper muffin liners

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 9 muffin tins with paper liners or spray with non-stick spray. Combine the eggs, oil, and cream; stir to blend. Add the whey powder, baking powder, Splenda, cinnamon, lemon rind, and orange rind.

Stir until just combined. Do not over stir or muffins will be tough. Fold in the blueberries gently.

Spoon 1/2 the batter into the prepared muffin tins. Place a cube of cream cheese in the center of each. Fill with remaining batter, making sure batter goes completely over and around the cubes of cream cheese.

Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, or until muffins spring back to the touch and no longer look moist on top. Serve warm.

Makes 9 muffins.
