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.

Provided by Cookie and Kate

Categories     Muffin

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 cups plus 1 teaspoon white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1/3 cup melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 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

Steps:

  • 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 3/4 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.

My mom always liked coming up with extremely healthy meals for my brother and I when we were kids. This slightly modified version of her muffin recipe is one of my favorites.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries. Fresh blueberries are ideal, but frozen blueberries will work just as well. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will help the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help the muffins to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These blueberry muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are made with whole wheat flour, oats, and honey, and they are packed with blueberries. The muffins are also low in fat and cholesterol. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give these blueberry muffins a try!
