Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter melted and cooled
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt I used 2% fat
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • lemon zest from 1/2 a lemon
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour spooned and levelled
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup blueberries plus more for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  • Position oven rack to the middle and pre-heat to 350 F. Line your muffin pan with liners and set aside.
  • To a large mixing bowl, add all wet ingredients. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
  • To a separate large mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients except blueberries. Whisk together until combined. Then, add blueberries and gently toss to coat in flour.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently mix until just combined. Don't over-mix or your muffins will be dry and tough -- it's okay if there's a few clumps of flour remaining.
  • Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan. I like to use a cookie scoop for this step to make it easy, but you can use what you have. Each muffin liner will be filled to the top. Press 3-4 blueberries on top of each muffin if desired.
  • Bake for 22-27 minutes, or until lightly golden and set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the muffins rest in the pan for 5-minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Let them cool for an additional 15-minutes before eating. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Liners: Paper liners will work, but I like silicone better to prevent any sticking.
  • Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, use them right from the freezer and don't let them de-frost.
  • Timing: These muffins always take exactly 25 minutes in my oven.
  • Important notes: Don't over-measure flour, and don't over-mix your batter. This is key to preventing dry and tough muffins.
