These sweet muffins are loaded with fresh blueberries and blueberry yogurt adds tons of flavor and moistness. They’re a must-make for the weekend – you’re going to love them.

Muffins are a big thing at our house – we love them for breakfast, brunch, and snacks, and the kids love one tucked into their lunchbox for a sweet midday treat.ย 

I’ve always made blueberry muffinsโ€”my whole family loves themโ€”but my original recipe was a little plain. I never noticed, but when our little friend gave me a 9.4 rating out of 10, I had to ask why. She always gives me a 10 unless she doesn’t love something and says she couldn’t taste all of the blueberries. Do you know what? She was right! I agreed the muffins were good but not great, so I played with the recipe.

Blueberry Muffins with Yogurt

One simple change made a big difference – blueberry Greek yogurt! I added some in place of some of the milk and oil, and it worked wonders. I shouldn’t have been surprised – I use the same ratio for my blueberry coffee cake.

Blueberry yogurt adds an extra punch of flavor and makes the blueberry muffins incredibly tender and moist. I wish I’d figured it out sooner, and I’m so glad our little friend shared her feedback.ย 

I know this easy blueberry muffin recipe will be your new favorite. Treat yourself to a batchโ€”they’re amazing. Warm them from the oven or freeze them to have on hand for later.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour
  • Granulated sugar
  • Baking powder
  • Sea salt
  • Vegetable oil
  • Large egg
  • Blueberry Greek yogurt
  • Milk
  • Fresh blueberries

How to Make Blueberry Muffins

Preheat the oven to 400ยฐF. Place paper liners in a muffin pan. This recipe makes about 10 regular-sized muffins.

Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Set the dry ingredients aside.

Mix the oil, egg, and blueberry yogurt in a small bowl until combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a fork until just combined. Don’t overmix. If the batter is too dry or dough-like, add milk by the tablespoon until it resembles a thick batter. Fold in blueberries.

Scoop 1/3 cup of the muffin batter into each lined muffin cup and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool them in the muffin tin before transferring them to a wire rack.

Sandra’s Tips

  • What is the secret to moist muffins? For these blueberry muffins, the oil and Greek yogurt adds tons of moisture!
  • Can you substitute frozen blueberries for fresh in baking? Yes, if you don’t have fresh ones, you can use the same amount of frozen blueberries.
  • I can’t find blueberry Greek yogurt. What can I use instead? Use the same amount of plain Greek yogurt. They won’t have as much blueberry flavor but will still be delicious. You can also use other fruit yogurts to change the flavor.
  • Can you make mini muffins with this recipe? Yes, but you will need to adjust the baking time. Mini blueberry muffins don’t need as long to bake in the oven as regular-sized ones.
  • Can you use one bowl to make the batter? I recommend using two bowls. Doing it this way makes it easier to thoroughly mix the ingredients without overmixing the batter. Overmixing will make your muffins dense and chewy.
  • What is the best way to store them? You can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze them for several months. Or freeze them, once they’re cooled, store them in a freezer container. They will keep in the freezer for up to three months.
