These Bursting Blueberry Muffins are packed with juicy blueberries and made with a tender, moist crumb that is sure to delight. With a hint of vanilla and a sugary crust, these muffins are perfect for breakfast, as a snack, or even as a sweet end to your meal. The combination of natural yogurt and fresh blueberries provides a balance of tartness and sweetness that's irresistibly good.
Why You'll Love This:
These muffins are incredibly easy to make and provide a fantastic way to enjoy the delightful flavor of blueberries in a baked treat. The yogurt in the batter ensures that each muffin is wonderfully moist, while the sprinkle of brown sugar on top adds a satisfying crunch. These muffins are not overly sweet, which makes them perfect for any time of day. Plus, the use of frozen blueberries keeps the dough beautifully marbled instead of uniformly blue.
Perfect Occasion:
Blueberry Muffins are versatile and suitable for many occasions. Serve them at a brunch gathering, pack them for a picnic, or enjoy them as an afternoon snack with coffee. They're also great for school lunches or as a portable snack on busy mornings. Whether you're hosting a get-together or simply treating yourself, these muffins are a delightful choice.
Decoration Tips:
For a decorative touch, sprinkle the tops with a mixture of coarse sugar and a little cinnamon before baking for extra texture and a hint of spice. If you're feeling creative, you can also top each muffin with a fresh blueberry or a small lemon zest twist before baking for added color and flavor.
Ingredients:
- 294 grams of all-purpose flour
- 9 grams of baking powder
- A pinch of fine salt
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 150 grams of granulated sugar
- 195 grams of unsweetened natural yogurt, room temperature
- 138 grams of neutral oil (such as canola, sunflower, or grape seed)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 120 grams of frozen blueberries
- Extra: brown sugar for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another large bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing just until combined to avoid overmixing.
- Carefully fold in the frozen blueberries to distribute them evenly without coloring the batter completely.
- Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the top of each muffin with a little brown sugar for a crunchy crust.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean but slightly moist.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
