Healthy Greek Yogurt Blueberry Muffins

Healthy Greek yogurt blueberry muffins became a regular in my kitchen when I started looking for a better morning option than sugary cereals. I wanted something I could grab on the go that still felt like a treat. After a few test batches, I found the perfect combination of Greek yogurt for moisture, oats for texture, and juicy blueberries for natural sweetness.

Now, these muffins are my favorite way to start the day. They’re fluffy yet filling, gently sweet, and packed with nutrients that keep me satisfied for hours. Whether I’m baking them for breakfast, packing them for a hike, or sharing with friends, they’re always a hit and they smell incredible straight out of the oven!

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can easily adjust depending on your taste or what’s in your pantry!
• All-purpose flour – Gives the muffins their soft structure.
• Old-fashioned oats – Adds texture and a touch of whole-grain goodness.
• Baking powder and baking soda – Work together to create a perfect rise.
• Salt – Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
• Greek yogurt – Adds moisture, protein, and a light tang.
• Eggs – Binds the batter and contributes to a fluffy texture.
• Honey or maple syrup – Natural sweeteners that keep it wholesome.
• Vanilla extract – Adds a warm, cozy flavor note.
• Olive oil or coconut oil – Keeps the muffins moist without butter.
• Fresh or frozen blueberries – Juicy bursts of fruit in every bite.

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls – One for dry ingredients, one for wet.
• Whisk – To mix the wet ingredients smoothly.
• Spatula or wooden spoon – For gently folding everything together.
• Muffin tin – To bake them up into perfect portions.
• Paper liners or non-stick spray – So the muffins release easily.
• Measuring cups and spoons – For accuracy with baking.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and prep

I preheat the oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients

In a large bowl, I whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3: Mix the wet ingredients

In another bowl, I whisk the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla, and oil until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Combine and fold

I pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined. Then I carefully fold in the blueberries, trying not to overmix the batter.

Step 5: Scoop and bake

Using a scoop or spoon, I divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. I bake them for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool and enjoy

I let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. Once slightly warm or completely cool, they’re ready to enjoy!

Tips

If you’re using frozen blueberries, I recommend tossing them in a little flour before folding them in this helps prevent them from sinking. For extra crunch and visual appeal, I sometimes sprinkle a few oats on top of the batter before baking. And if you like your muffins sweeter, a small pinch of cinnamon or a crumble topping can make a fun twist!

Ways to Serve

Warm with a dab of almond or peanut butter.

Paired with Greek yogurt and fruit for a quick breakfast.

On-the-go as a portable snack or lunchbox treat.
