Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Fresh or frozen blueberries
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 12-count muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line it with paper muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven 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.
Serve and enjoy your low-fat blueberry muffins!
