SUPER SOFT AND DELICIOUS BLUEBERRY AND YOGURT MUFFINS

Blueberry muffins that are super soft and delicious. How good are blueberries , a fruit I unfortunately can’t often find in my area, and I often have to settle for frozen ones. But the other day, I found a nice tray of fresh blueberries at the supermarket and couldn’t resist. Actually, I had already had a recipe in mind for a while to prepare super soft Blueberry Muffins. And so, here they are, prepared in just a few minutes, the best muffins you’ve ever tasted. Blueberries are a fruit, or more precisely a berry of a shrub that grows in mountainous areas and is native to northern Europe and North America. Blueberries are a source of valuable compounds, including vitamins (A, D, and E), folic acid, minerals (such as phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium), and organic acids. They have anti-inflammatory and anti-aggregating properties, vasodilatory and antioxidant effects, and are therefore very useful for the cardiovascular system. More reasons to eat them and use them in the kitchen. I personally find them delicious to eat with a little sugar and lemon juice, but they are at their best in desserts. In fact, during cooking, the small blue berries swell and burst, releasing their delicious flavor and color. I made the soft blueberry muffins by adding a jar of plain yogurt to the batter for a special softness. So, have I convinced you to try them? Let’s run to the kitchen and make some delicious blueberry and yogurt muffins

Ingredients for Blueberry Muffins

  • 1 egg
  • 2.8 oz sugar
  • 1 jar plain natural yogurt
  • 3.9 oz all-purpose flour
  • 1.4 oz butter (melted)
  • 3.5 oz blueberries
  • 1/2 lemon zest (untreated)
  • 1 tsp baking powder (5 grams)
  • to taste powdered sugar (for decoration)

What you need to make Blueberry Muffins

  • Mixer
  • Muffin Pan
  • Cupcake Liners

How to Make Soft Blueberry Muffins

  • Wash the blueberries and let them drain well. Beat the egg with the sugar, preferably with a mixer, for 3-4 minutes until you have a light and frothy mixture.

  • Add the melted butter and a jar of plain yogurt. Mix. Continue by adding the sifted flour, baking powder, and the grated zest of half an untreated lemon. Mix.

  • Finish by adding the blueberries and gently folding them into the batter with a spatula. Place the paper liners in a special muffin pan.

  • Fill the liners 2/3 full with the batter. With these quantities, I got 7 muffins, but it depends on the size of the liners you use. You can also use silicone liners; in that case, you can simply place them on a tray slightly apart.

  • Bake the blueberry and yogurt muffins in a preheated static oven at 356°F (180°C) for 20-22 minutes.

  • Always use the toothpick test to check for doneness inside. Let them cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
