Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Equipment

  • 1 Muffin Tin
  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, egg, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. It's important not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first to prevent the batter from turning purple.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. They will be about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Measure your flour by spooning it into the measuring cup for the best texture.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender.
You can substitute blueberries with other berries or chocolate chips if desired.
