Yogurt Blueberry Muffins

Let me tell you something that still shocks me—how expensive pastries are at airports and hotels. I mean, $6 for a muffin that’s dry and flavorless? No thanks. As a flight attendant, I’m constantly on the go, and grabbing a quick bite before a flight or during a layover is tempting… until I see the price tag.
That’s why I started baking my own muffins. These Yogurt Blueberry Muffins are one of my go-tos.

They’re super easy to make, travel-friendly, and honestly better than anything I’ve bought on the fly. Packed with juicy blueberries and just the right amount of sweet, they’ve saved me from so many overpriced snack situations. Plus, I love knowing exactly what’s in them.

I usually bake a batch before a trip, wrap them individually, and toss a couple into my bag. They freeze beautifully too, which means you can stock up for those extra hectic weeks.

Here’s the recipe—make them once and I promise, you’ll never look at airport muffins the same way again.

Tips for the Best Yogurt Blueberry Muffins

Don’t overmix the batter– Stir until just combined. A few lumps are totally fine!
Coat the blueberries in flour – Tossing the blueberries in flour keeps them from sinking to the bottom.
Do not skip the lemon zest – It’s the secret ingredient that takes these from good.

Description

These Yogurt Blueberry Muffins are super easy to make, travel-friendly, and honestly better than anything I’ve bought on the fly.

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 Teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup apple sauce Tip: If you're using pre-packed applesauce cups (like the snack-size ones), you can use 1 pre-packed cup- 113g
  • 4 Tablespoons neutral oil like canola or avocado
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries no need to thaw if frozen
  • oil for greasing the pan or paper liners
  • a pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  • Scoop out two tablespoons from the 1 3/4 cups of flour and toss with the blueberries—this helps keep them from sinking. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, mix the yogurt, apple sauce, oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix!
  • Fold in the floured blueberries and lemon zest.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups (makes about 9).
  • Bake for 18–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden.
  • Let cool and enjoy… or wrap them up and stash a couple in your travel bag.
