I have a lot of muffin recipes on my site, but these blueberry yogurt muffins are one of my favorites and my boys can't get enough of them. I love making a batch on slow weekends or keeping some in the freezer for quick breakfasts and easy snacks throughout the week.
The secret is the Greek yogurt. It makes these muffins incredibly tender with a soft, fluffy crumb and just a slight tang that balances the sweetness. I also use a mix of melted butter and a little oil, which gives you rich flavor and that same soft, fluffy, tender crumb every time.
And let's talk about those tall muffin tops. Filling every other muffin cup might seem like a small detail, but it makes a huge difference. It gives the muffins room to rise high and create those golden, domed tops we all love. Don't skip it!
If you're looking for a reliable, no-fuss muffin recipe that tastes like it came straight from a bakery, these blueberry yogurt muffins are it. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon treat…and especially good served warm with a little butter melting into the soft muffin. YUM!
Ingredients (with Helpful Notes)
- All-purpose flour: Spoon and level for accuracy, too much flour can make muffins dense.
- Baking powder + baking soda: The combo gives the perfect rise and light texture.
- Kosher salt: Enhances all the flavors.
- Unsalted butter: Melted butter adds rich flavor; let it cool slightly so it doesn't scramble the eggs.
- Granulated sugar: Sweetens the muffins and helps create a tender crumb.
- Avocado oil: Keeps the muffins extra moist; you can also use vegetable or canola oil.
- Eggs: Use room temperature for better mixing and texture.
- Greek yogurt: Use plain Greek yogurt, it makes the muffins super moist and tender.
- Milk: Also at room temp; helps loosen the batter and create a soft crumb. I like to use whole milk, but any milk will do!
- Vanilla extract: Adds warm, bakery-style flavor.
- Blueberries: Fresh or frozen both work great. If using frozen, don't thaw. Sometimes I like to use frozen wild blueberries—the smaller berries distribute really well throughout the muffins and honestly remind me of the Betty Crocker mix I used to make as a kid. So nostalgic and so good!
- Flour for berries: Tossing the blueberries in flour keeps them from sinking.
- Turbinado sugar: Adds that crunchy, sparkly bakery-style topping. Don't skip it!
Tips for Perfect Muffins
- Use room temperature ingredients: This helps everything blend together smoothly and creates a softer, more even crumb.
- Don't overmix the batter: Stir just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins instead of light, fluffy ones.
- Toss blueberries in a little flour: This keeps them from sinking and helps them stay evenly distributed throughout the muffins.
- Let the batter rest for 10 minutes: If you have time, this quick rest helps hydrate the flour and improves the texture of the muffins.
- Fill every other muffin cup: This is my favorite bakery trick, it gives the muffins space to rise tall and creates those beautiful domed tops.
- Fill the muffin cups generously: Don't be shy, filling them close to the top is what gives you that bakery-style look.
- Sprinkle with turbinado sugar before baking: It adds a light crunch and that classic bakery-style finish on top.
How to Store
- At room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Freeze in a sealed container or bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temp or warm in the microwave or oven.
Blueberry Yogurt Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil, can use vegetable or canola oil
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup milk, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen (if using frozen, don't thaw)
- 1 tablespoon flour, for coating the berries
- 1/4 cup turbinado sugar, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare the pan. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray. For a taller rise, fill only every other muffin cup. If you have two muffin pans, use both to bake the full batch at once. If you only have one pan, bake in batches and let the pan cool between batches.
- Mix dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and oil until smooth. Add the eggs and whisk until well combined. Stir in the Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla.
- Bring the batter together. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Add the blueberries. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour, then gently fold into the batter. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Fill the muffin pan. Use a large cookie scoop to divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling only every other muffin cup. Fill each cup close to the top. If using two muffin pans, divide the batter between both pans. If using one pan, bake in batches. Sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar.
- Bake the muffins. Bake for 18 to 24 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For taller, bakery-style muffins, fill only every other muffin cup so the muffins have room to rise.
- Don't overmix the batter—stir just until combined to keep the muffins soft and tender.
- Toss the blueberries in a little flour before adding to prevent them from sinking.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries both work. If using frozen, don't thaw before adding to the batter.
- Sometimes I like to use frozen wild blueberries—the smaller berries distribute evenly and add a nostalgic touch.
- Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking for a better texture.
- Sprinkle with turbinado sugar for a crunchy, bakery-style top.
- Muffins are delicious warm with a little butter.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
