03 - In a large bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
04 - Add dry ingredients to wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined—do not overmix.
05 - Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour in a small bowl to prevent sinking. Gently fold into batter.
06 - Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

08 - Let muffins cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert tips:

01 -
  • You get that bakery muffin experience without the heavy sugar crash that usually follows
  • The Greek yogurt makes them incredibly moist so they stay fresh for days unlike other protein baked goods
02 -
  • Overmixing is the enemy of tender muffins, stop as soon as the flour disappears
  • Frozen blueberries work perfectly but do not thaw them or they will bleed into the batter
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients blend more easily and create a smoother batter
  • Letting the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking improves the texture
