Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup low-fat yogurt
- 0.25 cup skim milk
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the sugar and lemon zest until evenly distributed.
In another bowl, whisk together the low-fat yogurt, skim milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Carefully fold the blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
