Description

These moist, fluffy Greek yogurt blueberry muffins are a healthy, protein-packed breakfast option that is kid-approved and perfect for meal prep. Made with simple ingredients in just one bowl, they offer a delicious alternative to dry or sugary bakery muffins.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (245g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
2 large eggs (room temperature)
½ cup (170g) honey
¼ cup (60ml) vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups (225g) fresh blueberries
Zest of 1 large lemon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease generously.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. Small lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest using a spatula. If using frozen blueberries, toss them in a teaspoon of flour first to prevent sinking.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling them about ¾ full.
Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to ensure tender muffins. Room temperature ingredients help the emulsion form better. For frozen blueberries, do not thaw; toss in flour before adding. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
