Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- Gently stir in yogurt, milk, blueberries, and grated or cooked apple, mixing just until dry ingredients are moistened.
- Fill muffin cups lightly sprayed with Pam to three-quarters full.
- Bake at 400°F for 18 minutes or until muffins are browned.
- Allow muffins to cool slightly before storing in the refrigerator.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try substituting half of the blueberries with chopped strawberries or raspberries. You can also use almond milk instead of skim milk for a nutty flavor. If you want to reduce sugar, consider using unsweetened applesauce in place of some of the sugar. Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
Serving Suggestions
These yogurt muffins make a great breakfast or snack on their own, but you can enhance their flavor by serving them with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of honey. They also pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie. For a special treat, try them with a cup of tea or coffee.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can also freeze them for longer storage; wrap each muffin tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. To reheat, simply microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of plain flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for plain flour in this recipe. However, it may result in denser muffins. You might want to use a mix of both to achieve a lighter texture while still adding the nutritional benefits of whole grains.
What can I use instead of yogurt?
If you don't have nonfat yogurt, you can substitute it with unsweetened applesauce for a similar texture. Alternatively, buttermilk or a dairy-free yogurt would work as well, but make sure to adjust the liquid content slightly if needed.
How do I know when the muffins are done baking?
To check if the muffins are done, insert a toothpick in the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, they are ready. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent overbaking.
