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
• Salt
• 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.
