Healthy Blueberry Muffins Ingredients
Here’s what you need to make Healthy Blueberry Muffins :
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup honey or maple syrup
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
How to Make Healthy Blueberry Muffins
Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the pan with nonstick spray. Preparing the pan first makes baking easier and helps prevent the muffins from sticking after they are baked.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mixing the dry ingredients first helps spread everything evenly through the batter so every muffin bakes the same way.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until smooth. Add the honey, melted oil, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until creamy and fully combined. The yogurt keeps the muffins moist while the honey gives natural sweetness.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix because too much stirring can make the muffins dense instead of soft and fluffy.
Step 5: Fold in the Blueberries
Add the blueberries to the batter and carefully fold them in. If you are using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first because they can turn the batter purple and watery. Stir gently so the berries stay whole.
Step 6: Fill the Muffin Cups
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about three-quarters full. This gives the muffins enough room to rise while baking and creates a nice rounded top.
Step 7: Bake the Muffins
Place the muffin pan into the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes. The muffins are ready when the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a cooling rack so they cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
