Healthy Greek Yogurt Blueberry Muffins

Healthy Greek yogurt blueberry muffins became a morning favorite for me during a stretch when I was trying to clean up my breakfasts without giving up the joy of baked goods. I had a big container of Greek yogurt in the fridge and some sweet blueberries that were about to turn so I whipped up a batch and was hooked from the very first bite.

What I love about these muffins is how perfectly balanced they are—moist from the yogurt lightly sweetened and packed with bursts of fresh blueberry flavor. They feel like a treat but keep me feeling good all morning long especially with a hot cup of coffee on the side.

Ingredients

Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!

• Whole wheat flour – Adds a bit of nuttiness and fiber for a wholesome base.
• Baking powder – Helps the muffins rise to fluffy perfection.
• Baking soda – Reacts with the yogurt for an extra lift.
• Greek yogurt – Makes the muffins super moist while adding protein.
• Eggs – Provide structure and richness.
• Honey or maple syrup – Natural sweeteners that keep things healthier.
• Coconut oil or olive oil – Adds moisture and a light texture.
• Vanilla extract – Rounds out the flavor with warmth.
• Fresh blueberries – The star ingredient bursting with flavor in every bite.
• Rolled oats – Optional but great for texture and a hearty look on top.
• Salt – Enhances all the other flavors.
• Tools You’ll Need
• Mixing bowls – One for dry ingredients and one for the wet mixture.
• Whisk and spatula – For blending the batter gently without overmixing.
• Muffin tin – To bake the muffins in perfect individual portions.
• Paper liners or non-stick spray – Keeps the muffins from sticking.
• Measuring cups and spoons – Helps keep everything balanced and precise.

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pan

I start by preheating the oven to 350°F and lining a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly greasing each cup.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl I whisk together the whole wheat flour baking powder baking soda salt and oats if using. I like to toss the blueberries in a spoonful of the flour mix to help keep them from sinking.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

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

Step 4: Combine and Fold

I gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined then fold in the blueberries carefully to keep them whole.

Step 5: Fill the Muffin Tin

I divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups filling each about 3/4 full. I like to sprinkle a few oats and extra blueberries on top for that bakery-style finish.

Step 6: Bake

I bake the muffins for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Then I let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a rack.

Tips

You can swap the blueberries for raspberries or chopped strawberries depending on what’s in season. If you like a sweeter muffin add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the batter. I also sometimes add lemon zest for a citrusy boost that pairs beautifully with blueberries.

Ways to Serve

These muffins are perfect as a grab-and-go breakfast or paired with yogurt and fruit for a fuller meal. They also make a lovely snack or lunchbox treat and freeze beautifully—just reheat in the microwave for a warm morning bite.
