Homemade Lemon Blueberry {healthier} Muffins

Recipes

My girls LOVE muffins — pumpkin, raspberry, blueberry! You name the kind, they love it. BUT I hate how sugar loaded they can be without much protein which is why I’m always experimenting on how to make their favorites healthier. This recipe only uses 1/2 cup of organic granulated sugar for the 10-12 muffins it yields PLUS has protein in the source of 1 egg and greek yogurt. I also used organic coconut oil to provide a healthy fat! Hope you love this recipe as much as we did!

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 c organic unbleached flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 c granulated sugar
  • 1/2 c whole milk
  • 1/4 c coconut oil
  • 4.4oz Greek vanilla yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1.5 c blueberries (add 1 tbsp flour to coat)

Directions:

1. Mix up your dry ingredients 

2. Add your wet ingredients

3. Add 1tbsp flour to blueberries then gently fold in

4.. Grease a muffin tin with oil spray

5. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop one large scoop into each muffin spot
