Alright, let’s talk ingredients! Here’s what you’ll need to make these amazing easy healthy blueberry muffins. Don’t worry, it’s all pretty basic stuff. And hey, if you’re missing something, don’t stress too much – baking is all about experimenting, right?

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour – the stuff that makes it all come together!
2 teaspoons baking powder – for that perfect fluffy lift!
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste – just a pinch to balance the sweetness.
1 large egg – gotta bind it all together!
½ cup granulated sugar – for just the right amount of sweetness.
½ cup Silk Unsweetened Cashewmilk – I love this stuff! But regular milk works great too.
¼ cup canola or vegetable oil – keeps ’em nice and moist.
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt – adds a little tang and extra moisture.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract – because vanilla makes everything better!
1 and 1/2 cups fresh blueberries tossed in 2 tablespoons flour – and here are the stars of the show! Tossing them in flour? Yeah, that keeps them from sinking to the bottom. Trust me on this!

How to Make Easy Healthy Blueberry Muffins

Okay, ready to get baking? These easy healthy blueberry muffins are seriously simple to make. Just follow these steps, and you’ll have a batch of warm, delicious muffins in no time!

Step 1: Preparing the Oven and Muffin Pan

First things first, let’s get that oven preheating! Crank it up to 425F. And don’t forget to spray your 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray. I *hate* when muffins stick, so I usually go a little overboard with the spray, haha! You can also use muffin liners if you prefer – totally up to you!

Step 2: Mixing the Dry Ingredients

Grab a large bowl, and let’s whisk together the dry stuff: that’s your flour, baking powder, and salt. Just whisk it all together until it’s nicely combined. This helps make sure the baking powder is evenly distributed, which means fluffier muffins! Who doesn’t want that?

Step 3: Combining the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl – yes, you need two bowls! – whisk together the wet ingredients: egg, sugar, milk, oil, yogurt, and vanilla. Whisk it all together until it’s nice and smooth. This is where the magic starts to happen!

Step 4: Combining Wet and Dry

Now, pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix! A few lumps are totally fine. Overmixing can make the muffins tough, and nobody wants tough muffins!

Step 5: Folding in the Blueberries

Gently fold in those beautiful blueberries. Be careful not to squish them! You just want to distribute them evenly throughout the batter. This is where you get to see all that blueberry goodness!

Step 6: Baking the Easy Healthy Blueberry Muffins

Evenly distribute the batter into your prepared muffin pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full. Now, for the baking magic! Pop them in the oven for 5 minutes at 425F. Then, *lower* the temperature to 375F and bake for another 19-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. That initial blast of high heat? It’s the secret to getting those nice, domed muffins!

Step 7: Cooling and Enjoying

Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. I know it’s tempting to eat them right away, but trust me, they’re even better after they’ve cooled a bit! And that’s it! Enjoy your delicious, easy healthy blueberry muffins!

Tips for Perfect Easy Healthy Blueberry Muffins

Want to take your easy healthy blueberry muffins to the *next level*? I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve! These are the things I’ve learned over years of muffin-making, so listen up!

Stop the Sinkage! Remember that flour-tossing trick? Seriously, don’t skip it! It really helps keep those blueberries from all sinking to the bottom. Nobody wants a muffin with a blueberry puddle at the base!
Fresh is Best (Usually!) I always recommend fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture. But hey, if you only have frozen, don’t sweat it! Just toss ’em in flour while they’re still frozen. And maybe add an extra minute or two to the baking time.
Storing Smarts: These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but they’ll keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Or, if you want to save ’em for later, just pop ’em in the freezer for up to 6 months! Just let them thaw completely before digging in.

Variations for Your Easy Healthy Blueberry Muffins

Okay, so you’ve mastered the basic easy healthy blueberry muffins? Awesome! Now, let’s get a little crazy and try some fun variations! I love experimenting in the kitchen, and these muffins are the perfect canvas for your creativity.

Add a Streusel Topping

Oh man, a streusel topping? Yes, please! It adds the perfect amount of sweetness and a little bit of crunch. I usually just mix some flour, brown sugar, and butter together with my fingers until it’s crumbly, then sprinkle it on top before baking. So good!

Use Different Berries

Blueberries are classic, but why stop there? Raspberries, blackberries, even a mix of all kinds of berries would be amazing in these muffins! Just make sure you toss ’em in flour like you would with the blueberries.

Add Lemon Zest

Lemon and blueberries? A match made in heaven! Adding a little lemon zest to the batter brightens up the flavor and gives these muffins a little zing. Trust me, it’s delicious!

Got questions about these easy healthy blueberry muffins? I got answers! Here are a few of the most common things folks ask me. And hey, if you’ve got a burning question I haven’t answered, just leave a comment below! I’m always happy to help!

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Absolutely! Frozen blueberries work just fine in these muffins. Just keep them frozen until you’re ready to fold them into the batter, and toss them with that flour like I mentioned earlier. You might need to add a minute or two to the baking time, since frozen berries can cool down the batter a bit. But hey, still delicious!

How do I prevent the blueberries from sinking?

Okay, this is a big one! The key is to toss the blueberries in flour *before* you fold them into the batter. That little coating of flour helps them stay suspended in the batter instead of sinking to the bottom. You can also try using slightly thicker batter – just don’t overmix it!

How long do these muffins last?

These easy healthy blueberry muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but they’ll keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to 6 months. Just make sure to thaw them completely before you dig in!
