These Blueberry Yogurt Muffins are the perfect snack! Make these delicious yogurt muffins with fresh or frozen blueberries.
make blueberry muffins even better with yogurt!
Blueberry muffins are one of my absolute favorite afternoon snacks. I made the recipe even better by mixing in a bit of plain yogurt.
The yogurt adds some extra calcium and protein to the muffins. Not to mention that the yogurt makes these blueberry yogurt muffins are super moist!
If you use plain Greek yogurt, you will add even more protein to the muffins. Greek yogurt muffins will be slightly more dense than those made with regular yogurt.
Make a batch of yogurt muffins for meal prep. Then, serve them alongside breakfast or as a snack!
Kitchen tools
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk and flat spatula
- Measuring cups, measuring spoons, liquid measuring cup
- Muffin pan and muffin liners – I like these tulip ones!
- Measuring scoop for scooping batter into muffin tin
- Wire rack for cooling
Serving Suggestions
Muffins are one of my absolute favorite afternoon snacks. I like to have one with a homemade cold brew coffee.
They are also a wonderful addition to a breakfast buffet. I would serve them alongside this simple quiche recipe and some air fryer breakfast potatoes.
Can I make mini muffins?
Yes! Just use a mini muffin pan in place of a standard muffin tin. The muffin cups will be smaller so you be able to make more mini muffins than standard size and they will bake faster.
Check to see if the mini muffins are done after they have baked for about 18 minutes at 350F.
Ingredients
- Plain yogurt
- Eggs
- Vegetable oil
- Vanilla extract
- Sugar
- All purpose flour
- Baking soda
- Baking powder

- Fresh or frozen blueberries
- Optional: brown sugar to sprinkle on top before baking
Ingredient substitutions
It is very easy to make these muffins gluten free. Just use an all purpose gluten free flour blend in place of the all purpose flour.
I like to use plain yogurt for these yogurt muffins, but you could also use a vanilla yogurt or even a lemon yogurt. Make Greek yogurt muffins by using Greek yogurt. They will be slightly more dense, but very moist and delicious.
If you use frozen blueberries, rinse them in a strainer and then dry them off before folding into the batter. This prevents them from bleeding color into the entire muffin.
You can add some lemon zest or ground cinnamon to these muffins to add to the depth of flavor.

Trying to make these, but I don’t have vegetable oil! What’s a good substitute? Thanks!
Madeline says
I recommend avocado oil or coconut oil – just make sure to melt the coconut oil beforehand. Let me know if you have something else on hand you would prefer to try to use.

Delicious blueberry muffins! Not overly sweet and a great texture. I used regular cupcake liners in my tins and was able to get 12 muffins from this recipe. Added a simple streusel topping for some added crunch on top, and they were so yummy!

These are muffins are delicious! Light, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweetness. They were so easy to put together with the instructions given. The tip about rinsing frozen blueberries was a game changer!!! I love using the frozen wild blueberries because the flavor is so much better. These muffins help me give my spouse a breakfast on the go that find the balance between healthy and oh so tasty!

Maya says
Is there an acceptable egg substitute? We have an allergy in our house
Madeline says
I have not tested an egg-free version of this recipe but you could try 1/2 cup applesauce or 1/2 cup mashed banana to replace two eggs (Please note this may change the taste and texture). Or, you could check your grocery store for an egg replacer which is typically made of some kind of starch. The advantage of that route is it will not change the taste. Hope this helps!
