Ingredients:
- 250g All purpose flour
- 285g Plain Greek yogurt (5% fat)
- 160g Honey
- 190g Fresh blueberries
- 60ml Melted coconut oil
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 tbsp Lemon zest
- 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, whisk together 250g flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp cinnamon. Note: Sifting isn't strictly necessary, but whisking vigorously removes lumps and aerates the flour for a lighter crumb.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk 285g Greek yogurt, 160g honey, 2 eggs, 1 tbsp vanilla, and 1 tbsp lemon zest. Once smooth, slowly stream in the 60ml melted coconut oil while whisking. Note: The oil needs to be warm but not hot, or you'll scramble the eggs.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yogurt mixture. Use a spatula to fold the two together until just a few streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix! If the batter looks perfectly smooth, you’ve gone too far.
- Toss your 190g blueberries with a tiny pinch of extra flour (about a teaspoon), then gently fold them into the batter. This flour coating acts like velcro, keeping the berries suspended so they don't all sink to the bottom.
- Divide the batter into your 12 lined muffin cups. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the tops spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
- Let the muffins sit in the hot pan for exactly 5 minutes. Note: This allows the steam to settle so they don't fall apart when you remove them. Move them to a wire rack to finish cooling so the bottoms don't get soggy.
