Blueberry Yogurt Muffins

Jump to Recipe

Homemade blueberry muffins are a classic and for good reason - they are absolutely delicious! These blueberry yogurt muffins are a twist on the classic recipe. I really wanted to create the perfect recipe that is easy to make and has everything you expect from a blueberry muffin, plus I added Greek yogurt to make them extra moist.

This muffin recipe is simple and pretty much fool-proof to make. It produces soft, moist muffins with a crisp golden coating and juicy blueberries in every bite! This is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a tasty breakfast or snack.

Why You Will Love These Blueberry Yogurt Muffins

  • They are packed full of blueberries so you are guaranteed sweet fruity blueberry flavor in every bite!
  • The batter is a nice thick consistency so the blueberries are distributed throughout the muffin and don't sink to the bottom.
  • The yogurt and the oil in this recipe give these muffins the perfect light and moist texture.
  • It is a one-bowl recipe, so it is super quick and easy to make with minimal mess.

WHY ADD YOGURT TO MUFFINS?

Yogurt (or sour cream) keeps baked goods fluffy and moist. Here's how:

  • The acidic property of yogurt reacts with the baking soda/baking powder in the recipe which then makes the muffins rise and be light in texture.
  • The creamy, tanginess of the yogurt makes the muffins more flavorful and richer.
  • The creaminess and fats in the yogurt help to keep the muffins tender and moist.

How To Make Blueberry Yogurt Muffins

These yummy muffins couldn't be easier to make! It is a simple muffin recipe that can be made in minutes with amazing results. To make them, follow the simple instructions below or find the full recipe at the end of this post.

Eggs, milk, vanilla and oil combined in a large mixing bowl.

Sprinkle with light brown sugar over top and bake!

Recipe Tips And Tricks

  • Use firm, sweet blueberries for best results. Mushy blueberries will fall apart in the batter.
  • Don't over mix the batter when folding in the blueberries as this will create a tougher texture when baked.
