Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Muffin tins
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour you can substitute whichever you prefer
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 5.3 oz containers non-fat greek yogurt I used Wegman's
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries no need to defrost frozen berries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°
  • Grease muffin tins or line with paper liners if needed (or use silicone tins)
  • In large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the eggs, yogurt, oil, maple syrup and vanilla
  • Create a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients in
  • Mix ingredients together until combined. This makes a thick batter, and lumps are totally A-Ok!
  • Gently fold the blueberries into the batter until distributed. I used a large serving spoon to fold them in.
  • Fill each muffin tin equally (for regular size muffins, the tin will be just about full)
  • Bake the muffins on center rack of oven for 17-19 minutes until golden on top
  • Remove from oven and immediately turn muffins out onto a cooling rack.
  • Serve warm, though they're just as yummy at room temperature.
  • Muffins store well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

You can add 1/2 cup chopped nuts, though that will affect nutrition calculation.
