Healthy Blueberry Muffins are soft, fluffy and moist. They are slightly golden on the outside and bursting full of sweet blueberry flavor on the inside.

Ingredients

½ cup milk skim
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup maple syrup
⅓ cup Greek yogurt plain 0%, no sugar added
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup blueberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease muffin pan with cooking spray.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together milk and lemon juice to create a buttermilk.
In a medium size bowl, add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine.
In a large bowl, add maple syrup, Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla and buttermilk mixture.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Using a spatula, fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Fold until the flour mixture is incorporated and there are no lumps in the batter.
Add blueberries.
Use a spatula to fold in the blueberries.
Using a cookie scoop, divide batter evenly into prepared muffin pan.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool for 10 minutes before transferring muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes 12 muffins.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will cause the muffins to be dense.

Healthy Blueberry Muffins can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container or bag for up to three days.

Healthy Blueberry Muffins freeze well. Place muffins in a freezer safe container or bag and freeze up to three months. Thaw muffins at room temperature when ready to eat.

Do not use muffin liners in the pan! This recipe has very little fat in it so the muffins will easily stick to the liners. I have tried greasing the liners but I find it easier to just grease the pan with some olive oil cooking spray.
