FAQ

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Yup, you can use frozen blueberries but its best to thaw and drain them first so your muffins dont turn out too soggy.

What type of Greek yogurt should I use?

Either full fat or low fat works great. It really adds moisture to the muffins.

How do I prevent the muffins from drying out?

Don't overbake them and try to preheat your oven properly. Keeping an eye on them is key so they stay soft and moist.

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

Sure, you can mix it up ahead. But its best to fold in the blueberries right before baking, so they dont break apart too much.

Can I swap milk and vegetable oil for healthier alternatives?

Definitely, you can try almond milk or even a bit of unsweetened applesauce instead of oil but note the texture might change a bit.

Greek Yogurt Blueberry Muffins Recipe Substitutions and Variations

All-purpose flour: you can try using whole wheat flour for a denser texture and nuttier flavor
Granulated sugar: sometimes coconut sugar or even a bit of honey can work, just remember to adjust the liquid content a little
Greek yogurt: if you dont have it, sour cream or regular plain yogurt will do the trick, but might change the tang a bit
Vegetable oil: you can replace it with melted butter or applesauce if you’re looking for a lighter option

Pro Tips

1. Make sure you only stir the batter until you just see the ingredients come together; overmixing can actually make the muffins dense and kinda tough.
2. When folding in fresh blueberries, be super gentle so you don’t mash them up too much, otherwise, you might get too much blue color in the batter.
3. If you wanna experiment, try adding a little lemon zest to the batter; it gives the muffins a bright zing that really compliments the blueberries.
4. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before moving them to the rack – this little step helps them set up better and makes them less crumbly when you pick them up.
