Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Lemon Zest
  • 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 0.5 cups Vegetable Oil
  • 6 ounces Fresh Blueberries

Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Oven
  • Whisk
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Move an oven rack to the middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with liners and coat with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, Greek yogurt, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients in 3 batches, whisking to incorporate after each addition.
  4. Fold in vegetable oil and stir carefully until uniformly combined. Fold in the blueberries and stir until just incorporated.
  5. Divide the batter into the prepared muffin pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove muffins from pan and cool completely on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.

Notes

  • Baking Powder: Quick breads such as muffins use chemical leavening agents like baking powder instead of yeast.
  • Blueberries: Use fresh or frozen blueberries, and if frozen, fold them in with minimal strokes to avoid purple streaks.
  • Yield: This recipe makes 12 muffins.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days.
