Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups low-fat plain yogurt
• 0.25 cups unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cups honey
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoons turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another medium mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, applesauce, honey, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.

Step 5

Gently fold the blueberries into the batter using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of turbinado sugar on top of each muffin for a slightly sweet crunch.

Step 8

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
