Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt full-fat preferred for richness
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup adjust for sweetness
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or neutral oil/butter
  • 1 cup blueberries optional, for mix-ins

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Muffin scoop or spoon
  • Toothpick or cake tester

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. This creates a light, airy base for your muffins.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until the mixture is smooth, slightly frothy, and fragrant with a hint of sweetness.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix—lumps are fine and help keep the muffins tender.
  5. If you’re adding blueberries or other mix-ins, gently fold them into the batter now for bursts of juicy flavor and color.

  6. Using a muffin scoop or spoon, evenly divide the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. This helps set their structure.
  9. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy them slightly warm—either way, their moist, tender crumb will shine through.
  10. Serve the muffins as a quick breakfast or snack, and enjoy the delightful combination of tangy yogurt and sweet berries in every bite.
