These healthy protein-packed blueberry muffins with Greek yogurt are moist, tender, and have a subtle tang. They combine wholesome ingredients with a dose of protein, making them perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a nutritious snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour (can substitute whole wheat flour for nuttier flavor)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240 g) plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or 2%
  • ¼ cup (85 g) honey
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries, washed and patted dry (frozen can be used, toss in flour first)
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil or melted coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with oil or cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and olive oil or melted coconut oil (if using) until smooth and slightly fluffy.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the batter until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Toss the blueberries in a tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking, then gently fold them into the batter.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes. Check at 18 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, they are done.
  8. Remove muffins from oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and fluffy. Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Toss blueberries in flour before folding to prevent sinking. Let muffins cool completely on a rack to avoid sogginess. Tent with foil if muffins brown too fast.
