Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Yogurt
- 1/2 cup Melted Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 lemon, Zest only
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
- 2 6/10 cups All-Purpose Flour
Fruit and Topping
- 2 cups Fresh Blueberries
- 2 1/2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature while you prepare the batter.
- Prepare Muffin Pan: Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and optionally spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, melted butter, granulated sugar, lemon zest, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Flour: Gently add the all-purpose flour to the wet mixture and carefully fold it in. Be cautious not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries until evenly distributed, making sure no flour streaks remain visible in the batter.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full. Top each muffin with a few extra blueberries and sprinkle with brown sugar for a crunchy topping.
- Bake Muffins: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the pan before removing and serving. Enjoy these moist and flavorful blueberry yogurt muffins fresh for the best taste.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture; frozen blueberries can be used but may release more moisture.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins.
- Lemon zest is essential to brighten the flavor, so do not skip it.
- You can substitute yogurt with sour cream if preferred.
- Ensure to measure flour accurately by spooning into the cup and leveling off to avoid dense muffins.
