    • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Wet Ingredients:
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
    • 1/3 cup milk
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

How to Make Blueberry Muffins

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine the sugars, melted butter, eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Step 2: Add the Blueberries

  1. Toss the blueberries with 1 tbsp of flour to prevent sinking.
  2. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.

Step 3: Bake the Muffins

  1. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  2. Sprinkle turbinado sugar or lemon zest on top if desired.
  3. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Tips for Perfect Muffins

  • Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can result in dense muffins. Mix until just combined.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Eggs and yogurt at room temperature create a smoother batter.
  • Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Either works! Just be sure not to thaw frozen berries to avoid a watery batter.
