Blueberry Yogurt Muffins
These Blueberry Yogurt Muffins blend whole wheat pastry flour with Greek yogurt and maple syrup to create moist, tender muffins studded with fresh blueberries. The combination yields a lightly spiced muffin with a soft crumb and a subtle tanginess from the yogurt. Baking at 400°F produces a golden top and a tender center, making the muffins suitable for breakfast, snack, or light dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 large egg at room temperature
- 1 cup Greek yogurt at room temperature, plain, whole milk
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- ½ cup maple syrup at room temperature
- ¼ cup almond milk at room temperature, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 heaping cup blueberries plus more for topping, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 12 paper or silicone liners in your muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, Greek yogurt, oil, maple syrup, almond milk and vanilla extract.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until mixture is just combined. Don’t over-mix! It's okay if there are a few streaks of flour left.
- Add 1 Tablespoon of the batter to the bottom of the muffin liners.
- Fold in blueberries to the rest of the batter then evenly divide the rest of batter into muffin tins.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes, then remove so they don’t continue to cook and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Store at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week in an airtight container. You can also freeze for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container.
Notes
- Frozen blueberries can be used without defrosting, simplifying preparation.
- Substitute whole wheat pastry flour with white whole wheat, all-purpose, or a flour blend as preferred.
- Greek yogurt may be replaced with vegan yogurt for a dairy-free option.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with agave, honey, or monk fruit sweetener.
- Any dairy or non-dairy milk works in this recipe, such as almond, soy, oat, or cow's milk.
