Ingredients

  • 113 g salted butter, melted ½ cup
  • 110 g white sugar ½ cup
  • 110 g brown sugar ½ cup
  • 2 eggs
  • 85 g 2% greek yogurt ⅓ cup
  • 80 ml 2% milk ⅓ cup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of ½ lemon
  • 280 g all purpose flour 2 cups
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 320 g fresh blueberries 3 cups
  • 2 tablespoon coarse sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and both sugars. Then whisk in both eggs, greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Use a spatula to lightly mix them together on top, then fold into the wet ingredients until just combined. Save ⅓ cup of the blueberries for topping, then gently fold in the rest.
  • Use a cookie scoop to evenly distribute the batter across 10-12 muffin cups. Top with extra blueberries and a sprinkle of coarse sugar.
  • Bake for 22-27 minutes. When they're done, the tops will spring back when touched, and a toothpick should come out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • This recipe is adapted from Justine Snacks.
  • I recommend measuring with the ingredient weights. This will be most accurate.
  • I don't recommend using frozen blueberries, as they can add too much moisture to these muffins and make them a bit soggy.
  • Muffins are best on the day they're baked. Store extra muffins in a large airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For an extra crispy top, re-heat in the air fryer for a few minutes before enjoying.
  • You can also freeze muffins in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature and re-crisp in the air fryer for a few minutes if desired.
