One of the reasons why I love this yogurt muffin recipe is that it’s a lot healthier as compared to those bakery muffins we all know and love. A few easy ingredient swaps are all you need! I like to make muffins often, so I always try to pack a little extra nutrition into them.
I’m using white whole wheat flour, and naturally sweeten them with honey. I also add Greek yogurt instead of regular for an extra dose of protein.

FAQ
Yes! As mentioned, I like Greek yogurt muffins as they are packed with protein, but you can certainly use regular yogurt if that’s what you have at home. Keep in mind that if you do switch things up, the muffins will be a bit lighter, but less fluffy.
You’ll be able to tell your Greek yogurt blueberry muffins are ready to be pulled out of the oven when they turn slightly golden on top. You should also do the toothpick test: insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean with a few crumbs, they’re done!
I typically don’t have that problem with my yogurt muffin recipe — in fact, I purposefully created a thicker batter to prevent the berries from sinking. A thicker batter made with less liquid provides better support for the blueberries, meaning they’re less likely to sink. Now you know!
Tips
- Don’t overwork that batter! Remember to stir just until everything is combined, and no longer, for tender Greek yogurt muffins with evenly distributed berries. No need to use a mixer — the batter for this yogurt muffin recipe should be lumpy.
- It’s also important not to overmix if you’re looking for those nice rounded tops that aren’t pointy!
- Use a large cookie scoop or spring-handled ice cream scoop to make filling the muffin pan easier and cleaner. Use a No. 20 or 24.
- After filling the cups, be sure to wipe up any batter spills on the pan so they don’t burn.
- When your blueberry yogurt muffins are done, take them out of the pan right away so they don’t get soggy.
- Let them cool completely for the best flavor! I know that can be really hard but it’s totally worth it!
- If you are looking for a great muffin pan I have 2 options and I love them both: USA 12 Cup Muffin Pan or this Structured Silicone Muffin Pan.

Notes

- Butter: you can also use avocado or coconut oil instead.
- Honey: can also replace with maple syrup or sugar.
- Greek Yogurt: can use vanilla Greek yogurt. If you do omit the vanilla in the recipe. You can also use regular yogurt or sour cream.
- Blueberries: you can use fresh or frozen. If you are using frozen DO NOT thaw them before using or your muffins will be blue.
