Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Greek yogurt (nonfat, plain)
• 0.25 cups Honey
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Fresh or frozen blueberries
• 0.25 cups Milk (nonfat or plant-based)
• 1 teaspoons Optional: lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey, egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until smooth and fully integrated.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Gently fold in the blueberries and optional lemon zest, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full to allow space for rising.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy these moist and delicious low-calorie blueberry muffins for breakfast, as a snack, or even dessert!
