Would you look at those blueberry-studded beauties? These blueberry muffins are golden on top, and moist and fluffy on the inside.
Best of all, they’re bursting with jammy blueberry flavor. These are my favorite homemade blueberry muffins, and it’s about time you met them.
These healthy blueberry muffins are easy to make, too. Forget those box mixes! You can make these wholesome muffins from scratch with basic grocery store ingredients. No special equipment required.
What makes these blueberry muffins healthy?
These muffins are more healthy than your average blueberry muffins. They’re made with 100 percent whole wheat flour (I used white whole wheat flour, which you can hardly taste). Whole wheat flour offers redeeming whole grain nutrients and extra fiber.
The muffins are also naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup, which lend subtle honey or maple flavor to the muffins. They’re lower in overall sugar content compared to coffee shop muffins.
Last but not least, I used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, which lends the same irresistible tang but with more protein and less fat. I don’t think that yogurt passes for sour cream on tacos, but it totally works in muffin recipes.
Blueberry Muffin Recipe Tips
You can make these muffins with fresh or frozen blueberries. Do not defrost frozen blueberries before using; just stir the frozen blueberries into the batter as directed.
Tossing the blueberries with one teaspoon of flour prevents them from sinking to the bottom. This way, you can use a full cup of blueberries without risking the integrity of the muffins.
Sprinkling 1 tablespoon of raw sugar on top of the muffins before baking yields deliciously sweet, crackly muffin tops. You can buy raw sugar in the sugar aisle of most grocery stores these days, or just grab a few extra raw sugar packets from you go-to coffee shop (I won’t tell).
These muffins taste best after they’ve had time to cool completely. Or better yet, let them rest for a couple of hours at room temperature before serving. This is true for most baked goods!
Recommended Equipment
I love this sturdy, made-in-the-USA muffin pan (affiliate link). I don’t ever have to grease it, thanks to the silicone non-stick coating. Clean-up is a breeze, too. I’ve never had to soak or scrub on this pan.

These healthy blueberry muffins are golden, fluffy, moist and delicious! No one will guess this recipe is made with 100% whole wheat flour and naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup. Recipe yields 12 muffins.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups plus 1 teaspoon white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 eggs, preferably at room temperature
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt*
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (6 ounces) blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (also called raw sugar), for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If necessary, grease all 12 cups on your muffin tin with butter, coconut oil or cooking spray (my pan is non-stick and doesn’t require any grease).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ¾ cups of the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix them together with a whisk.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oil and honey or maple syrup and beat together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then add the yogurt and vanilla. Mix well. (If the coconut oil solidifies in contact with cold ingredients, gently warm the mixture in the microwave in 30 second bursts.)
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a big spoon, just until combined (a few lumps are ok). In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the remaining 1 teaspoon flour (this helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom). Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. The mixture will be thick, but don’t worry.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups (I used an ice cream scoop with a wire level, which worked perfectly). Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar. Bake the muffins for 16 to 19 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
- Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool. You might need to run a butter knife along the outer edge of the muffins to loosen them from the pan. If you have leftover muffins, store them, covered, at room temperature for 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze leftover muffins for up to 3 months.

Denise
Hi Kate,
I am making these today and was wondering if I can add coconut and should I change anything else when I do?
Kate
Hi Denise! I’m not sure about adding coconut to these, without needing to change some of the recipe. I would suggest trying my banana coconut muffins.
Saba
Can I use a combination of stevia and honey? (1/4 cup stevia and 1/4 cup honey)
Kate
Hi! I’m not sure how stevia would work in the recipe.
Judy Redding
I adore this recipe! Realized I didn’t have plain Greek yogurt when I went to make them this week. I used a mix of blueberry and vanilla Greek yogurt (2 Good brand) that were in my fridge. They still turned out delicious and got rave reviews!
★★★★★
Kate
Good to hear it still turned out, Judy! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
NZ
Hi Kate, I came across your blueberry muffin recipe through google. They turned out perfect. Better than any blueberry muffin recipes I have followed. I noticed that you have other whole wheat muffin recipes. I will try all of them later on. I wish I had found out your recipe website earlier!
Could you also share a whole wheat chocolate yogurt muffin recipe please? I have followed several popular chocolate muffin recipes out there. They are either not very delicous or not quite healthy. Thank you very much!
★★★★★
Kate
Hi! I’m glad you liked them and excited for you to try more. I can’t make any promises, but I will add your request to my list. Thanks for your review, NZ!
Jeanette
I would really appreciate you addressing the question re how it would change things, if at all, to make these as mini muffins.
Thank you
Grace Ann Ekstrom
I came across this recipe searching for a blueberry muffin with maple syrup recipe and I was pleasantly surprised to discover it! I used spelt flour and topped mine with pecans and they were DELICIOUS!
★★★★★
Shannon
I made these today (with a few minor changes) and they turnes out heavenly! I did not have whole wheat flour on hand, so I used regular all-purpose flour instead. I used vanilla greek yogurt instead of plain flavored. Finally, I added half a cup extra of blueberries and skipped adding sugar on top. 10/10!
★★★★★
Sabrina
The batter came out really thick, so i added an egg and a 1/4 cup of oat milk. They turned out nice and fluffy, but I’m not sure if the batter was actually supposed to be that thick after seeing your pictures. I used EVOO, tasted the batter and had major regrets cuz it was very very olivey, but I ate a couple out of the oven and found the flavour baked out mostly and that the blueberries’ sweetness softens it as well (heads up for everyone else’s who uses evoo, coconut oil is really expensive)
★★★★
Rebecca
I made these muffins today with fresh picked blueberries. I’ve tried other muffin recipes before and this one was the best. I made a few changes to accommodate what I had in the kitchen. I used a combination of olive and canola oil, half plain and half vanilla greek yoghurt, regular white flour, and a combination of maple syrup and honey. I also used about double the amount of blueberries. Thank you for this recipe- I love that there is no white sugar. I am going to make the healthier version when I have more whole wheat flour!

★★★★★
Carrie
I wanted to love this recipe, but I found my muffins a bit dry. I followed the recipe as written (used the regular whole wheat flour vs. white whole wheat), leveled off all measured ingredients, baked at 400 for 16 min, and allowed to cool in the pan on a wire rack. The only thing I left out was raw sugar on top. My muffin tin is non-stick, so maybe I need to reduce the heat by 25 degrees? Otherwise I’m not sure what else could have caused it.
★★★
Kate
Hi Carrie, I’m sorry to hear that! Since you leveled off, that would have been my first question of how you measured the flour. Do you have an issues with other recipes of your baked goods turning out drier? Like your oven runs hot?
Alayne Faraone
Hi Kate,
Have been seeking a good Blueberry Muffin recipe and I found yours this one to be delicious. Originally I thought I would make the healthy version, but since it is Election night here in the USA (2020) I want a bit more of a traditional American treat. I opted to use Bob’s Red Mill GF flour (not whole wheat). After I read through the recipe and these comments, to avoid dryness, I used sunflower oil and added 1-Tlb ghee. For the sweetener I chose maple syrup, scant 1/2 cup, goat’s milk yogurt, adding1/2 -tsp apple cider vinegar to help with the rising and the tanginess.
These are by far one of the best GF blueberry muffin recipes I have tasted!
Thank you!!

Gail
I tried the recipe close to as written using whole wheat flour, coconut oil, plain low-fat (not Greek) yogurt, about 1-1/4 cup of blueberries And date sugar for the topping. I baked for 16 minutes. I ate one. It was very tasty, but rather dry. Any suggestions to make them more moist next time?
★★★
Kate
Hi Gail, I’m sorry to hear you didn’t love them! How did you measure your flour? Seems like you may have had a little too much.
Annemarie Bronakoski
I’m confused about the amount of flour. Is it 1 and 3/4 cup or just 3/4 cup? I already measured using 1 and 3/4 and am waiting on them to cool! I guess I’ll find out but would like to know! Thanks
★★★★★
Kate
It’s 1 cup + 3/4 cup + 1 tsp flour. I hope this helps! What did you think?
Mary
Hi Kate,
I’m about to make this recipe ,and it calls for 31/2 cups of flour.,in The ingredients part.then how to instructions to combine all ingredients, it calls for 13/4 of a cup .can you tell me ,how much flour…
I want to double the the receipt
★★★
Kate
Hi Mary, If want to double you will need 3 1/2 plus 2 tsp. You will combine the 3 1/2 cups in step 2. You will toss the remaining flour with the blueberries – see step 4. I hope this helps!
Diana
Hi! I see in the notes there is a buttermilk option, but I don’t actually see the instructions. I have some buttermilk I’d like to use up and was hoping to make these muffins. Thanks!
Kate
MAKE IT VEGAN: You can replace the eggs with flax “eggs.” Replace the yogurt with a smaller amount of vegan buttermilk—just mix ⅔ cup non-dairy milk with 2 teaspoons vinegar. Let it rest for 5 minutes before adding it to the other liquid ingredients. Or, use 1 cup vegan yogurt.
Diana
Hi! In the notes section there is an option to use buttermilk, but I don’t see the instructions for this anywhere. I have some buttermilk to use and I was hoping to make these. Thanks!
Michelle Madonna
Absolutely love these! Make them about once a month. Would it work with oat four as well?

Hi Kate,
My muffins turned out amazing I added a banana to it. Just wondering can I double this recipe to make a cake?!
★★★★★
Kate
Hi Kelly! I’m not sure about making this a cake, but I believe others have made it in a loaf. Time would be longer, but I can’t say for sure without trying it.
Felicia
Kelly, did you end up making this into a cake? I was going to try that myself and would love any tips or baking times you found helpful. Thanks!
Marla
Loved These! The changes I made were that I just used a full 2 C of whole wheat flour and added the blueberries to my dry ingredients before I added the wet ingredients to it. I also used 1 C of regular sour cream instead of the yogurt. I used the maple syrup and didn’t add any extra sugar to the tops. Amazing Muffins! Thanks for such a great recipe as we will be making these often.
★★★★★
Lis
I made these muffins tonight as a side for chicken stew. I used coconut oil, maple syrup and fresh Maine blueberries in season and followed the recipe as printed (except for the raw sugar). They were moist, delicious and quite filling. We were joined for dinner by my mother-in-law who is a frequent baker and lover of all things flour and refined sugar (think berry pie for breakfast). As she is not someone who eats outside of her comfort zone, I was both surprised and pleased to watch her devour her muffin. I will make these again. Thx C+K.

Laura Green
I realized too late that I was out of eggs! So I added an extra teaspoon of baking soda along with two tbsp of apple vinegar, and they rose and came out well. I turn to your blog frequently for recipes.

Looking to make these but was wondering other fruits which would be good in them. I have fresh blackberries or strawberries or dried apricots, raisins, cranberries. Was thinking of using fries Apricots or cranberries. What do you think?

Hi Amanda! If you are looking to making those different ones, check out some of my other muffin recipes. I have strawberry and cranberry muffin recipes!
Blain
Thank you for this recipe!I have made them multiple times and my whole family loves them!
★★★★★
Katie
After reading through some comments about the muffins coming out a bit dry I was very cautious about measuring flour and maybe scratching out every drop of the wet ingredients from the smaller bowl when mixing…Results come out moist and beautiful! Just like the banana muffin recipe I tried, and the pumpkin muffins…Boy I’ve been making a lot late night muffins recently.
My only wish is that if you can provide a rough estimate of # of mini muffins your recipe will make and maybe give a idea of bake time for mini muffins. I made 24 mini muffins (baking 10 minutes in nervousness) and 5 regular muffins with this recipe!
★★★★★
TESS
Hi! I made bigger muffins which yielded 6 muffins, i also was out of baking soda and added 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder which totaled 2 1/2 baking powder. I followed the exact baking ‘ temp and time and turned out really great . will definitely try again with a different fruit/topping! thanks
★★★★★
Meadow
I made these today just to have a change from my usual blueberry muffin recipe. I made the Healthy Carrot Muffins from this blog two days ago, so I figured these would be good as well. And they were! I used all of the vegan options and made it gluten free by using a combination of oat and corn flour. I used coconut sugar as the sweetner option and reduced the amount to 1/4 cup and omitted the sugar topping. So delicious! Also, very moist. This may be my new favorite blueberry muffin recipe, at least for now.
★★★★★
Sherry
This recipe is delicious and my 2 year old loves it too! If I want to double the recipe, do I need to adjust the oven temperature?
Thanks!
★★★★★
Kate
Hi! No need to adjust the temperature, just spilt the batter to two muffin tins instead of one.
Christel R
The turbinado sugar didn’t stay on top for me… it just sunk in. Any ideas why? Thanks for the recipe!
Kate
That’s interesting! It didn’t create a nice top layer?
Christel
No, not at all. ♀️
Alison Tack
Made your blueberry muffins today. Delicious. I had to make a slight alteration to the recipe as only had half Skyr natural yoghurt (high in protein) so topped the cup up with Coconut Greek yoghurt. Did not have raw cane sugar so used Demerara sugar. (Are they the same?) Good result. X
★★★★★
Helen
Very moist and delicious! I never knew Greek Yogurt could taste so good! These muffins taste best after a few hours. Thank you for your amazing recipes!!
★★★★★

Delicious!! Made these with wild blueberries I picked and they’re perfect! I love eating them with a scrape of butter. Mmmmm.
★★★★★
Steph V
I used stone ground organic AP flour, and regular low-fat yogurt. The taste is absolutely delicious. Texture was a tiny bit rubbery, I think I may have over-mixed and/or added too many blueberries.
Thank you for this healthy recipe!
★★★★
Kate
You’re welcome, Steph! I appreciate it.
Frendz
Can I use almond flour?
Kate
Hi Frenz, Almond flour isn’t typically a great 1:1 substitute. You could try oat flour if you need a gluten free option.
Cindy Shea
I love these muffins. They feel so much more healthy and virtuous than the standard variety. I’ve made them several times. Unfortunately they often burn on the bottom. 400 degrees is way too hot. Next time I’ll try 350 and hope that the top and bottom will be done at the same time.
★★★★
Nikki Mulo
These are the MOST amazing muffins ever! I didn’t have Greek yogurt so I subbed it for 3/4 cup evaporated milk And also added 1/2 cup more of fresh blueberries. Thank you for your recipe! Can’t even tell that it’s “healthy”. Tastes just as good if not better than regular muffins.
★★★★★
Maggie
I’m usually underwhelmed at healthier versions of muffins but these do not disappoint! I had to make some changes so I could use what I had on hand. I used sour cream instead of greek yogurt, regular whole wheat flour (not white WW), and I opted for coconut sugar. I made them the night before for a quick and easy breakfast before a busy day and the kids devoured them. Even my husband – who doesn’t eat these kinds of breakfast foods – ate 2! This recipe is definitely a keeper.
★★★★★
Crissy
So I made these yesterday. I had to make a few changes cause I’m plant based. So I did your vegan version of the Yogurt, I used unbleached flour cause that is all I had, I used energy egg replacer for the eggs (basically fake eggs ), and I used your option of honey instead of maple syrup and olive oil instead of coconut oil. And I left off the turbinado, only because my toddler would be eating them. I did have to cook them longer, maybe a total of 23 minutes? When they came out, I drizzled a honey butter on the tops. Wow, they were so freaking amazing!!! I think that your vegan buttermilk recipe really brought a moistness to them. I keep eating them this is seriously a great recipe and probably my new favorite blueberry muffins. It is so hard to find a recipe using honey instead of sugar!! I am super excited to add this to my rotation!!!
★★★★★
Kate
That’s great to hear! I’m glad they turned out so well and now are a new favorite. I appreciate your review, Crissy.
Maggie
Hi Kate. I too added about 1/4 cup good quality peach flavored yogurt to my Greek yogurt to make 1 cup needed for recipe. I also substituted organic amber agave as the sweetener. After he took his first bite, my husband said, with a smile,“These are quite tasty!”. Thanks for the recipe!

These are by far the best blueberry muffins ever!!! Would swapping out the blueberries and replacing with chocolate chips work or would that effect the moisture? Should I try chocolate chips in the banana recipe instead? Looking forward to your advice!

Hi Kari! I would’t know for sure without trying it, but I don’t think it would work how you would think. I know a lot of readers love my banana muffins with chocolate chips.

my batter turned out waaaay to thick, i couldnt mix in all the flour as there wasnt enough liquid. i added some milk and they seemed to turn out fine. my son enjoyed them!
Sanna
Very tasty, easy, and nutritionally virtuous recipe that takes nicely to improvisation and substitution. I used blueberries that were old and mushy. Perfect use for them. I also used labneh because I didn’t have Greek yogurt and only about a 1/3 cup of honey because I ran out. I doubled the cinnamon because I like cinnamon. The muffins were yummy despite my disorganized kitchen. Thank you, C&K. Another triumph.

Wow these muffins are incredible. I used 1 cup Bob Mills 1:1 all purpose GF flour and 3/4 regular flour (ran out of the GF). Used flax egg (1T flax meal: 3T water). Used vanilla flavored coconut dairy free yogurt (that wasn’t Greek yogurt). Forgot to add the vanilla extract and my God the smell was divine and the texture was perfect.

Yum, these rose nicely and turned out so tender! I used a mix of honey and date syrup for sweetener and plain cream on top whole milk yogurt instead of Greek. I also added a couple Tb of ground flax and chia seeds to the batter and topped with a bit of cinnamon sugar and pecan pieces for a crunchy crust.

Hi Kate, I read in your strawberry oat muffin recipe that you can add a 1/3 cup of oats to any of your muffin recipes.

Elizabeth Smith
They look great, but we found the texture lacking. The muffins stuck to the paper, and were lacking the crumb of “regular” muffin.
Also, I don’t think the recipe successfully makes 12 muffins – 8 would be about right.
We appreciated the fact that you used maple syrup or honey as a sweetener, and also appreciated the use of yogurt.
Thank you.
★★★
Elizabeth Smith
Changing my mind: The muffins really are delicious. Today I used maple syrup as a sweetener, and I found that it had a better result texture-wise than the creamed honey I used before. So maybe you could delete my previous post (October 9) :)
I’m correcting my rating.

Made these today using AP flour, maple syrup and vanilla greek yogurt. Yummy! Recipe is a keeper.
★★★★★

Aloha. Made this last night. Great, moist,muffins. But Regarding maple syrup, I used natural maple syrup $$$ xpnsive. Didn’t notice any flavor from it?? Maybe I should have used a cheaper brand less xpnsve?? Added lemon zest and again no noticeable flavor. Blueberry, flour coating tip, awesome. I will make these again with a couple of tweaks because they’re sooo moist. Will also make some of you’re other recipes. Mahalo.
★★★★
Kate
Hi Scott, I prefer pure maple syrup. But other maple syrup should be fine. I’m not sure on the cost of yours, but you can find a great price at Costco or other grocery stores.
Scott
Mahalo for replying. Everting in Hawaii is more xpensiv (even letters),lol. Due to the size of my family at this point, real maple syrup, even Costco is higher priced. Since its jus the 2 of us I’ll have to half the recipe. We Like to share but syrup is $10 to $12 per 12oz. This expense is on sale. Do you think if I used a maple flavored only syrup no butter flavors (store brand) would effect flavor, sugars, end results?? Mahalo again. Next time I make I’ll send pictures.
Lu
Love this recipe as muffins! I’ve made it twice, second time used canola oil instead of olive oil, but both good. Tried it once as a loaf but with oven at 400 the outside burnt and the inside stayed raw… Gonna try it again as a loaf but this time reduce the heat to 350 or 375 so hopefully it will bake through more gradually.

My husband has a major sweet tooth so I made these for him after getting a ton of blueberries at a low price. He LOVES these muffins and cannot stop talking about them.

I love this recipe! It’s my favorite to make for my 1 yr old! Because he needs fat for development, I used sour cream instead of yogurt. I used chia eggs as the egg substitute. I thought lemon blueberry muffins sounded good, but I didn’t have any fresh lemons to do zest, so I just added some lemon juice. They turned out great! I now use this recipe to make muffins for my son every 1-2 weeks.

Well, they are in the oven, and I am sure they are wonderful, for your recipes are great. I am always happy with all I have tried! My question is can I freeze the mixed batter if I do not use all of it? We are just my husband and me, and I would rather not have too many sitting from day today. I used a large muffin tin pan today, so I have now 6 muffins in the oven. I would love to freeze the batter for a workday morning to defrost the night before and pop into the oven in the morning. Have you tried this? If not, I will and I will keep you abreast of the results, but I thought I would reach out to the chef first! Thanks again for your lovely site and wonderful recipes. Be well…Whitney
Kate
Hi Whitney, I wouldn’t recommend freezing the batter. These muffins will freeze well.

Hi! That is an interesting idea. I’m not sure without trying it, sorry! I would suggest the recommended amount but they do vary slightly. Let me know!
Carol Fjelsted
The blueberry muffins are the best I have ever made, and to think they are even healthy.
Thank you for the recipe, Carol

You’re welcome, Carol! Thank you for your review.

I normally don’t love muffins, but my partner and i LOVED these! We made a couple little changes….subbed out oil for one large apple grated (once you learn this trick, you’ll never use oil in your baking again!), and we used vanilla Greek yogurt to add a little more flavour. The maple syrup added just enough sweetness. We can’t get enough of them. Made them twice already!

These were very good! My 3 year old loved them as well. I used sweetened Greek yogurt and no honey or syrup. I also threw it all in the same bowl to save time and dishes. Thank you will add this to the recipe book!

Just made these blueberry muffins for a quick and nourishing breakfast for my boys. They’re delicious and satisfying! I added lemon zest and think it’s a critical addition to the recipe.
My batter was not nearly as thick as the video shows…but the muffins were a perfect texture. I used olive oil; not sure if that’s the reason.
Thank you again, Kate! I use your recipes every week when I’m planning my grocery trips.

Hi! I made these but they are so watery. I even cooked them for 6 more minute. Still fell apart and are watery. I followed all of your directions. Used maple syrup, almond oil and coconut oil
What did I do wrong?
Kate
Hi Caitlin, I’m sorry to hear that. Almond oil? It sounds like you either had too much oil or the combination didn’t work well with this recipe.
Felice
Great recipe and easy to make – thank you! Used maple syrup, olive oil, plain no fat yogurt ( didn’t have Greek yogurt), lemon zest and frozen little blueberries picked this past summer. ( I like that you mention options and variations). It made 15 delicious muffins.

The only things I altered were all-purpose flour, more blueberries, and vanilla greek yogurt and lessened the amount of honey. I added a streusel on top and it was delicious. Baked it for 15 minutes, turned off the oven, and let it sit in there for 2 minutes. After that, I just took them out of the pan, I didn’t let them cool.

Hello. Wondering if I can make the batter in advance and bake in the morning?
Thanks!
Anne
Kate
Hi Anne! I don’t typically recommend batter to be made in advance.
DeLora
Hi! Can I substitute 1 cup buttermilk for the yogurt? TIA!
Kate
Hi DeLora! See my note about making this vegan. I hope you love them!
Mary
These muffins are amazing! My fav muffin recipe.

Roxanne Ricard
Hi Kate,
I was wondering if I could use melted butter instead of coconut oil or olive oil?
Kate
Hi Roxaanne, sometimes butter can work as a replacement. Although, I haven’t tried it here or don’t know the quantity. Sorry to not be of more help!
Purvi
Absolutely delicious and healthy.
Can I freeze these? If so will it taste the same? How do you recommend using them after they are frozen?
★★★★★
Kate
Hi! Yes, these muffins should freeze fine. You can let them thaw in your refrigerator an then warm them if you like.
Sara Patterson
My 5 year old son and I made these with lemon zest this morning. They are delicious!!! Dense, flavorful, and the perfect texture. We’ve also made your apple muffins and love them. Thank you for the amazing and healthy recipes!
★★★★★
Kate
I love that! Thank you for your review, Sara.
Rachel
Hey Kate,
I love this recipe – I make 2 batches and freeze, then take out and defrost for kids’ breakfast before school.
To change it up a bit I was going to see about making mini muffins. Have you tried that? If so, what changes need to be made?
Thanks so much!
RC

Jeanette
I would really appreciate you addressing the question re how it would change things, if at all, to make these as mini muffins.
Thank you
Kate
Hi! You would just need to reduce the time by likely half and keep and eye on them. I hope this helps!
Lavinia Petretchi
I am in looove. These muffins are sooo good. I appreciate you and your recipes!

Kate
I’m delighted you loved them, Lavinia!
Kelli Byers
Made these this morning and they are fantastic! Followed recipe exactly and they have such a great flavor, perfect level of sweetness, and a texture that I really like, thanks to the wheat flour. My boyfriend has already had two – Mr. “who will eat all of these because I don’t even really like muffins?” We showed him. Haha! Not a huge baker! And I’m excited to try more of these recipes of yours. Thanks!

Joanne
These are yum , the only thing i like to do is burst all the blueberries as my toddler is fussy when they go in as whole, I love all your muffin thanks for the recipes my next one to try is the strawberry one :)
★★★★★
Kate
Thank you for your review, Joanne! I’m delighted you both can enjoy them.
Caitlin
I made these today and they were so delicious and my 18 month old son loved them! I am wondering if I can sub chocolate chips for the blueberries next time around? Would this work?
Kate
Hi! I’m not sure it will work the same as the blueberries provide some moisture. I do know they work in my banana muffins!
Keri
This is my most favorite recipe ever!!! It’s so versatile. I have made banana, zuchini, carrot and apple cinnamon by substituting the blueberries for a different fruit/veg. and varying the spices. Also adding wheat bran or oatmeal. I love them in the morning with my coffee!!
★★★★★
Katherine
These are absolutely divine! I made 16 muffins, and they were super moist and delicious. I made mine with frozen blueberries, and they turned out fine. My whole family loved them, and you couldn’t even tell that they were healthy. I was a little bit skeptical to use yogurt because I was nervous that the muffins would taste like them, but they didn’t. Thanks for the recipe! Definitely recommend!

Kate
Wonderful to hear, Katherine!
Amanda Groves
Super tasty!

Kerry
Hi Kate, I made these today and they rose well in the oven, but as soon as I took them out of the oven they completely deflated. Do you know why this could be? Thanks!
Kate
Hi Kerry! I’m sorry to hear that. Were you sure you added the right about of leavener? Too much can cause that.
