Healthy Muffin Recipes + Blueberry Yogurt Muffins
These healthy muffin recipes are all delicious, easy to make with simple ingredients, great for meal prep and perfect for breakfast and snacks.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt, at room temperature
- ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
- ½ cup maple syrup, at room temperature
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 heaping cup fresh blueberries, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 12 paper or silicone liners in your muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, Greek yogurt, oil, maple syrup, almond milk and vanilla extract.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until mixture is just combined. Don’t over-mix! It's okay if there are a few streaks of flour left.
- Add 1 Tablespoon of the batter to the bottom of the muffin liners.
- Fold in blueberries to the rest of the batter then evenly divide the rest of batter into muffin tins.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes, then remove so they don’t continue to cook and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Store at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week in an airtight container. You can also freeze for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container.

Notes
- Whole wheat pastry flour: If you can’t find whole wheat pastry flour you can also use white whole wheat flour, a blend of all-purpose and regular whole wheat flour or just regular all-purpose flour.
- Greek yogurt: I haven’t tried it, but I bet using a vegan yogurt would work just fine!Â
- Maple syrup: You can use agave, honey or even monk fruit maple syrup as a substitute for maple syrup.Â
- Almond milk: Any dairy-free or dairy milk will work in this recipe!
- Blueberries: You can totally use frozen blueberries if that’s all you have on hand. No need to defrost before baking.
