Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk and spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick salted butter at room temperature
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs at room temperature
  • 1.5 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon white whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 3 tablespoons blueberry jam
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar for topping
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted, for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your muffins bake evenly.
  • Grease your muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature salted butter and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  • Add the lemon zest, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and room temperature eggs to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries and blueberry jam using a spatula to evenly distribute without breaking the berries.
  • Spoon the muffin batter evenly into each muffin cup, filling them about 2/3 full.
  • In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly to create the topping.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping generously over each muffin. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Remove muffins from oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Frozen blueberries can be used; fold them in gently to avoid breaking.
  • Reduce sugar or substitute with applesauce or mashed banana for a healthier option.
  • Prepare batter the night before and refrigerate; bring to room temperature before baking.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Try seasonal variations like raspberries, strawberries, pumpkin puree, or flavored yogurts for different flavors.
