Blueberry Muffins

Bake a batch of these Lemon Blueberry Muffins for a family breakfast that's bursting with flavor. They're packed with berries and are so simple to stir together! Serve these warm, at room temperature or cold.

Ingredients

¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
⅓ cup honey (or maple syrup)
¼ cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons lemon zest
2 cups blueberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray (or parchment liners).

Add the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a medium bowl. Stir.

Stir in the yogurt, honey, butter, eggs, vanilla, and lemon zest. Gently stir in the blueberries. (The batter will be thick.)

Divide the batter among the prepared muffin tin, using about 1/4 cup batter in each cup.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out cleanly.

Let cool in the pan for a minute or two, then run a paring knife around the edges. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool fully.

Notes

Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for 3-5 days.

Freeze cooled muffins in a zip top storage bag with as much air removed as possible for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or in 15 second increments in the microwave, or at room temperature.'

Use fresh or frozen berries. (If using frozen berries, know that the batter will be stiff!)

Dairy-free: Use nondairy milk in place of the yogurt and neutral oil in place of the butter.

Gluten-free: Use gluten-free cup for cup flour in place of the all-purpose and whole-wheat flour.

Egg-free: Omit the eggs. Add 1/2 cup milk and increase the baking soda to 1 teaspoon.

Mini muffins: Use a 24-cup mini muffin pan and reduce the baking time to 12-14 minutes.
