Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15-20 minutes
Makes: 12 servings
Ingredients:
1 ¾ cups whole wheat or white wheat flour
1 teaspoon whole wheat or white wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1/3 cup olive oil or canola oil
½ cup honey or maple syrup
2 eggs, room temperature
1 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease your 12-slot muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ¾ cup flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk together.
- In a separate bowl, combine the oil and honey or maple syrup. Beat together with a whisk. Add the two eggs and mix well again. Whisk in the yogurt and vanilla until the wet ingredients are evenly combined into a smooth consistency.
- Using a spoon, pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and gently mix until just combined (a few lumps are ok). This is your batter.
- In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the 1 tsp of flour (this prevents blueberries from sinking to the bottom) and gently fold into your batter.
- Evenly distribute the batter between the 12 muffin cups.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown, and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the muffins for 5-10 minutes.
