Big Blueberry-Busting Muffins
"This is a combination of several recipes I've tried for blueberry muffins. The real key is the yogurt - use your favorite fruit flavor! it doesn't have to be blueberry, i've made it with raspberry and other flavors with great results. its great for experimenting with new flavors."

- Ingredients:

- Yields:
-
12 muffins
- Serves:
- 12
ingredients
- 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
- 3⁄4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1⁄2 cups nonfat yogurt
- 1 1⁄2 cups blueberries
directions
- Preheat oven to 375 deg.
- Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Mix flour, oats, baking posder, baking soda and salt.
- In a seperate bowl, beat butter, sugar and eggs until smooth.
- Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet, and half of the yogurt; mix until just combined.
- Add the remaining dry ingredients and yogurt, mix together.
- When they are almost combined, begin folding in the blueberries (gently, so they don't get squashed).
- Fill the muffin tins (they will be very full, which makes for great big muffin-tops).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- I've had the best results with frozen berries because they stay solid during mixing. Just makes sure you give them a rinse in hot water to get all the ice off them, and even thaw them a bit. Also, dry them off before adding them (you don't want extra moisture).

I too had a bunch of plain yogurt that I needed to use up. These cooked well and turned out fine, but they weren't all that flavorful. I'm not sure what I'd change...maybe a little more sugar? -
I used this recipe because I had to use up a bunch of plain yogurt before its expiration. I've never had a lot of luck with blueberry muffin recipes, but this one was very easy to implement. It was challenging getting the mix in the tin (really thick), but they cooked just right. Nice big muffin tops. Great taste. I will be using this one again...and again!

I'm currently at university for Chemical and Bioengineering. I enjoy healthy cooking and baking in my spare time. But since i'm cooking for myself, my only problem is eating all of my cooking before starting the recipe.
