Light and healthy lemon blueberry yogurt muffins packed with Greek yogurt protein and whole food gluten-free ingredients! A delicious lemony muffin bursting with blueberry flavors!
There is something to be said about adding yogurt or sour cream to baked goods- Boy does it make them delicious! Ok, I just shared the secret ingredient far too soon but there you have it. Yogurt, Greek yogurt to be exact, does the trick to making these gluten-free blueberry muffins the fluffiest!
Not only are they sink-your-teeth into fluffy and delicious but this batch of blueberry muffins has about 35 grams of protein just from the Greek yogurt alone!
Nothing to me tasted better than adding a bit of lemon zest and juice to blueberry recipes. It just brings out a little extra pizzazz that will make your tastes buds want to eat more than just one muffin!
Our sweet neighbor always brings us the juiciest lemons and we just purchased a big batch of blueberries from the Farmer's Market. It was time to turn our wholesome ingredients into something delicious! These blueberry yogurt muffins are also delicious without the blueberries.

Just made these muffins for Sunday breakfast and they were de-elish! As I'm cutting down on sugar, they were just a bit too sweet. I got 16 muffins because I filled the cases almost to the top. Thank you for this recipe which will help me watch my calorie intake!
