Equipment
Ingredients
- 1½ cups white whole wheat flour (or ¾ each whole wheat and all-purpose flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole-milk blueberry yogurt (or plain Greek or regular yogurt)
- ¼ cup honey (or maple sryup)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest (optional; or 1 teaspoon cinnamon)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup standard muffin pan with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, stir together the yogurt, honey, butter, eggs, and vanilla.
- Gently stir the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture.
- Add the blueberries and lemon zest or cinnamon, if using, stirring gently to combine.
- Divide batter among the prepared muffin tin, using about ¼ cup batter in each cup.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven, then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool fully.
Notes
- Once cooled, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Warm slightly to serve from the fridge (they firm up a bit when they’re cold so warming slightly returns them to their softer texture).
- You can also freeze the muffins in a freezer bag with as much air removed as possible for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or in 15-second increments in the microwave.
- Dairy-free: Use a nondairy Greek-style yogurt like the plant-based options from Siggi's and a neutral oil like canola in place of the butter.
- Gluten-free: Sub cup-for-cup gluten-free flour in place of the wheat flours.
- Egg-free: Omit the eggs. Reduce the yogurt to ¾ cup. Add ¼ cup milk. Proceed with the recipe.
- Dice up as needed for younger eaters.
- Top with butter, nut butter, or jam as desired.
