Blueberry Yogurt Muffins
Description
This recipe mixes wet ingredients including plain yogurt, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until smooth, then folds in dry ingredients and blueberries tossed with flour. The flour coating helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom during baking. Muffins are portioned into a greased or lined muffin tin and baked for 26-28 minutes.
The texture is moist and tender from the yogurt and oil, while the baking powder and baking soda provide a balanced rise. The optional topping of extra blueberries and brown sugar on top adds sweetness and a slight crispness to the outer muffin surface.
The muffins can be cooled then frozen in an airtight container, thawed at room temperature or refrigerated, and reheated gently in the microwave with a damp paper towel to restore moisture. Using vanilla yogurt instead of plain is a possible variation for added flavor.

- 1 cup PLAIN yogurt
- 2 egg
