Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix plain yogurt, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them while distributing evenly throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Blueberries: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh blueberries. If you only have frozen, make sure to thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so be gentle!
- Customize Your Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter muffin, feel free to increase the sugar slightly, or add a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Experiment with Add-Ins: Consider adding a handful of chopped nuts or a sprinkle of lemon zest for a unique twist on this classic recipe.
- Check for Doneness: Every oven is different, so start checking your muffins at the 18-minute mark. They’re done when a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
- Store Properly: To keep your muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage—just pop them in the microwave for a quick warm-up!
