Would you look at those blueberry-studded beauties? These blueberry muffins are golden on top, and moist and fluffy on the inside.
Best of all, they’re bursting with jammy blueberry flavor. These are my favorite homemade blueberry muffins, and it’s about time you met them.
These healthy blueberry muffins are easy to make, too. Forget those box mixes! You can make these wholesome muffins from scratch with basic grocery store ingredients. No special equipment required.
What makes these blueberry muffins healthy?
These muffins are more healthy than your average blueberry muffins. They’re made with 100 percent whole wheat flour (I used white whole wheat flour, which you can hardly taste). Whole wheat flour offers redeeming whole grain nutrients and extra fiber.
The muffins are also naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup, which lend subtle honey or maple flavor to the muffins. They’re lower in overall sugar content compared to coffee shop muffins.
Last but not least, I used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, which lends the same irresistible tang but with more protein and less fat. I don’t think that yogurt passes for sour cream on tacos, but it totally works in muffin recipes.
Blueberry Muffin Recipe Tips
You can make these muffins with fresh or frozen blueberries. Do not defrost frozen blueberries before using; just stir the frozen blueberries into the batter as directed.
Tossing the blueberries with one teaspoon of flour prevents them from sinking to the bottom. This way, you can use a full cup of blueberries without risking the integrity of the muffins.
Sprinkling 1 tablespoon of raw sugar on top of the muffins before baking yields deliciously sweet, crackly muffin tops. You can buy raw sugar in the sugar aisle of most grocery stores these days, or just grab a few extra raw sugar packets from you go-to coffee shop (I won’t tell).
These muffins taste best after they’ve had time to cool completely. Or better yet, let them rest for a couple of hours at room temperature before serving. This is true for most baked goods!
Recommended Equipment
I love this sturdy, made-in-the-USA muffin pan (affiliate link). I don’t ever have to grease it, thanks to the silicone non-stick coating. Clean-up is a breeze, too. I’ve never had to soak or scrub on this pan.

These healthy blueberry muffins are golden, fluffy, moist and delicious! No one will guess this recipe is made with 100% whole wheat flour and naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup. Recipe yields 12 muffins.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups plus 1 teaspoon white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 eggs, preferably at room temperature
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt*
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (6 ounces) blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (also called raw sugar), for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If necessary, grease all 12 cups on your muffin tin with butter, coconut oil or cooking spray (my pan is non-stick and doesn’t require any grease).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ¾ cups of the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix them together with a whisk.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oil and honey or maple syrup and beat together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then add the yogurt and vanilla. Mix well. (If the coconut oil solidifies in contact with cold ingredients, gently warm the mixture in the microwave in 30 second bursts.)
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a big spoon, just until combined (a few lumps are ok). In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the remaining 1 teaspoon flour (this helps prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom). Gently fold the blueberries into the batter. The mixture will be thick, but don’t worry.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups (I used an ice cream scoop with a wire level, which worked perfectly). Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar. Bake the muffins for 16 to 19 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
- Place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool. You might need to run a butter knife along the outer edge of the muffins to loosen them from the pan. If you have leftover muffins, store them, covered, at room temperature for 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze leftover muffins for up to 3 months.

Tia Brown
Hi do you have to use greek yogurt
Kate
Hi Tia, you can use regular (not Greek) plain yogurt instead. Your muffins might not rise as high. Or, check the vegan notes under the recipe if you’d rather use buttermilk.
Katie
Hello!
These muffins look delicious!! I have some greek yogurt to use and am looking forward to trying these this afternoon! More importantly, please tell me what that fabulous rug is that your pup is standing on in the above pics!

Literally the best muffins I have ever made. I’ve even put dark Lindt chocolate in them too!
Kate
Great, Jess! Thanks for sharing.
Allison
Well I must have done something wrong. The batter was more like cookie dough so I added a few tbs. of almond milk. Still had to spoon the batter into the tin. They came out more like cornbread than light muffins. I used ww flour, greek yogurt, honey etc. I’m not a baker so I tried to follow your directions exactly with poor results. What could i have possible done wrong?
★
Kate
Hi Allison, I’m sorry to hear that! How did you measure your flour? I always spoon flour into the measuring cups and then level off the top with a knife. If you scoop flour directly into the cups, you could end up using significantly more flour, which would explain your difficulties. My only other suggestion would be to make sure you didn’t get the baking powder and baking soda quantities mixed up (it’s easy to grab the wrong container).
Bernadette Buonato Pittman
Same thing happened to me. I rechecked the amount of flour and it was double the amount that a similar recipe had. So I doubled all of the other ingredients and the consistency seemed good. So once I added more of the wet ingredients the muffins turned out perfectly!!!
So the amount of flour is definitely too much
Matt
I made and these (they didn’t last long) and then quickly made 2 more batches to freeze. They were awesome! Do you think adding poppy seeds, some lemon juice and zest to the batter might also be an option? What quantities might you recommend? I am new to the muffin baking game. Thank you!
Kate
So glad you enjoyed the muffins, Matt! Lemon zest is a great idea (lemon juice is a tiny bit more tricky since you’re adding moisture to the batter, but zest is safe). I’d try 1/2 teaspoon zest. As for poppy seeds, I’d try 2 to 4 tablespoons, depending on how poppy seeded you want them. You can whisk both into the dry mixture. Have fun!
Matt
Thanks Kate! I made these with the lemon zest and the poppy seeds as per your suggestions and they turned out great! Thank you so much!

Mary G
I made these muffins for refined sugar free January and was so pleased with how they turned out! They had a cozy, not-too-sweet flavor (I used honey rather than maple syrup) and a satisfying texture. I would have liked them to be a bit more moist, but they were by no means dry and I suspect they’ll keep really well in the fridge for a few days. This recipe was easy to follow and is definitely one that I will make over and over again. In the future, I will add a bit more salt and some additional blueberries – although 1 cup of blueberries for 12 muffins is pretty standard, this recipe’s dough is thicker and rises more than my traditional blueberry muffin recipe, so it seemed like there were relatively few blueberries given how much there was of the rest of the muffin! Thank you for the fantastic recipe, Kate :)
★★★★
Kate
Thanks for sharing your experience, Mary! I’m so happy you enjoyed these muffins and the recipe was easy for you to follow.

I just made these and they were amazing! I don’t like too much maple flavor or too much honey flavor so I did half and half and it was perfect. I also used Pumpkin Spice instead of Cinnemon for a spicy kick :) love your site!

That sounds interesting! Thanks for sharing, Katie. Pumpkin + blueberry.
Carlie H.
Made these muffins and they turned out great! I used maple syrup and the extra virgin olive oil. The only thing I didn’t have was the raw sugar for the top but they are definitely a great snack. This definitely gives you room to try other variations! Will be making these again(:

Thanks Kate.
★★★★★
Kate
I’m really glad you like them! Thanks for the review, Maxwell.
Renee
I just made these muffins and they have no taste. I used honey?
Joan
No taste usually means no salt. Did you accidentally leave out the salt? You would be surprised how the salt brings out the flavor in almost all baked goods that require salt.
Natalie
These sound amazing but I would like to make them dairy free without the yogurt. I saw that at the bottom it said see buttermilk option above but couldn’t find anything. What could I use in place of the yogurt?
Kate
The make vegan note has instructions on how to make vegan buttermilk. :) MAKE IT VEGAN: You can replace the eggs with flax “eggs.” Replace the yogurt with a smaller amount of vegan buttermilk—just mix ⅔ cup non-dairy milk with 2 teaspoons vinegar. Let it rest for 5 minutes before adding it to the other liquid ingredients. Or, use 1 cup vegan yogurt
Wambui
Super easy to follow through,
Tried a couple of your recipes (this was the third) and they always turn out surprisingly good…

Alex
So, I made these and your apple muffins today, but in loaf form! I’ve made both before and loved them as muffins, but I decided to do something different. Firstly, I made both vegan by using flax eggs and Anita’s Organic Coconut Yogurt, which is AMAZING, btw! For this one, I then included a relatively heaping 1/4 tsp. of the optional cinnamon, and added heaping 1/4 tsps. of cloves, cardamom, and ginger for additional spice; in both loaves, I used fine-grain himalayan pink salt. I was delighted to see the optional lemon zest variation, but I was rather lazy and didn’t feel like breaking out my zester, so, instead, I replaced the vanilla extract in the recipe with 2 tsps. of organic lemon extract! From there, I was thinking of what flavors would agree with one another, and decided to use organic, cold-pressed EVOO instead of the coconut oil I usually use in your recipes for a slightly herbal note I was thinking would complement the lemon, honey, and blueberry flavors (I also upped the 6 oz [170 grams] of berries to 183 grams for some added blueberry goodness!). Finally, like the apple loaf, I used organic erythritol in place of the turbinado sugar topping! Like the apple laof, I’m going to freeze this one and eat it when the craving hits. All in all, not bad for being done around 9:30 am! Thank you so much, Kate, for such amazing recipes!

Sue Duronio
I”m so sad, these didn’t work for me! They came out a mushy mess! I followed the recipe exactly except for one thing. I used almond flour instead of whole wheat flour. I’m not experienced in cooking with almond flour so maybe that doesn’t work for baking? Please advise! I also used frozen blueberries but I defrosted them first. Maybe they were too wet still? I’m so disappointed. I’d love to know what your thoughts are on this. Thank you!
Kate
Hi Sue! I’m sorry these didn’t turnout perfect. Yes, the almond flour would really impact the result.
Sheri
I wish I had read the comments, as I used almond flour too and they did not rise. They do have a very nice flavor, so I will try again. Since a GF flour option is mentioned, perhaps a warning against almond flour could be added to the article?
★★★★★
Emily
wonderful! I actually used 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce instead of any dairy since I’m lactose intolerant and they came out perfect! Very tasty and moist. I will definitely save this recipe and use it again.

Doreen
They are perfect and my granddaughter and I just love them. If made according to your recipe, approx. how many calories per blueberry muffin?
Ella
Hi Kate, thank you for all the work that you do! I always cooked with the idea of “wholesome” foods but since I discovered your blog two years ago, I have GREATLY expanded my flavor profile.
I will try to make these muffins and have to ask: is it possible to use whole wheat PASTRY flour instead? If so do you know what the rough adjustments would be? (I’m very new to baking!)
Thanks!!
Alex
Hi, Ella! I’ve made these before using Bob’s Red Mill Organic Whole Wheat Pastry Flour when I didn’t have normal white whole wheat, and they turned out beautifully! Sorry if this is too late to be of any use.

Hi Beverlery! The nutrition information is below the notes section of the recipe. Make sure you allow pop-ups as this is a plug-in on my site.
Angela Prenosil
Surprisingly good! Love the sprinkle of sugar on top, texture was great too. Smushed in a few extra berries in the top before baking. Is whole wheat flour supposed to have a bit of a bitter taste in some bites?…..haven’t cooked much with it.
★★★★
Kate
Hi Angela! Thanks for trying this recipe. My guess with the bitter taste is that you didn’t get your mixture evenly mixed and might have had some clumps. I appreciate the review!
Patti Palmer
I use this recipe at least a couple of times per month. I love the fact that it uses honey or maple syrup (I use honey)and Greek yogurt. Between my husband’s work crew and my friends at Bible study, I never have any to freeze! They’re all eaten within a day or two. I’ve recommended this site to friends, for I have many that like the more healthful recipes. Keep up the good work! I actually get 18 muffins out of the recipe (which is great, considering they’re so popular).
★★★★★
Kate
Thanks for sharing, Patti!
nat
Hi! This recipe looks absolutely amazing! My family doesn’t really love the taste of honey or maple syrup though (I do, but I’m the only one with a sweet tooth in the family). I was wondering if it would be okay to substitute the honey (or at least part of it) with applesauce (homemade and sugar free, of course!!) or if it would be better to add a bit of brown sugar. I don’t want to mess with the dry/moist ingredient ratio too much and end up with very dense muffins that don’t rise or with super dry ones!
Natalie Wilhelm
Hey Kate,
I made these and all of them stuck to the paper muffin liners! Do you not recommend using liners or is it just because the muffins are so moist? Thanks!
★★★★★
Kate
Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that, Natalie. I don’t recommend using liners with my pan. If you need to use liners, try very lightly greasing them or just grease the pan some.

Adrianna Piccone
Kind of disappointed with the outcome of these muffins- which is shocking to me because every other recipe i’ve made from this site has been beyond wonderful! I followed the recipe to a T, except had to use half melted coconut oil and half virgin olive oil (ran out of coconut oil). They smelled wonderful when baking. I brought one to work today for breakfast, it was so dense! I thought it would be fluffier for some reason. It also has a metallic-y taste to it? I’m not sure where this is coming from. I even used paper muffin cups in my muffin pan. The blueberry flavor comes through, but for adding all of the maple sugar, they are pretty bland flavor wise. Maybe more cinnamon? Dash of allspice? Lemon? Something is missing, and I didn’t find eating my muffin very enjoyable at all. Was excited for the “healthy” aspect of it, but would rather have consumed the fat/calories with a normal blueberry muffin and enjoyed it, than the flat-ness of this one.
Kate, do a re-do recipe on this, please!
★★★
Kate
Hi Adrianna! I’m sorry you didn’t love these. The mixture of the two oils could have made an impact. For the aluminum taste, did you make sure to use aluminum free baking powder and were both the baking powder & soda fresh? If any of those things can give that taste. Thanks for the feedback!
Amy
Just made these with my 3 year old – huge hit! Love them. We opted for the cashew milk and vinegar option instead of yogurt (my first time making a substitution like that) and they are very tasty! Thank you!

Andrea
Delicious! My toddler usually doesn’t like blueberry muffins but he loved these and I love it when he reaches for healthier alternatives. I did find the olive oil to be a little more prominent than I would have liked so maybe will use coconut oil next time or try the olive oil and syrup combo (we used honey). Also I only had vanilla greek yogurt on hand and despite the fact that it’s a little sweeter, I kept the extract the same–I am glad I did as the recipe was perfectly sweet so the vanilla flavored yogurt didn’t really matter. Will definitely make again!
★★★★★

Parent win! I’m glad he likes these. Those substitutions should be ok. Let me know what you think when you try it next time, Andrea!

TOP NOTCH! These are divine — can’t believe it’s 100% whole wheat.
I added a good bit of hemp seed and a little applesauce (applesauce wouldn’t have been necessary if I didn’t add so much hemp).
For some reason, these made a lot more for me than I expected — 19 standard muffins. I reduced the baking time a bit (mine must be smaller than the recipe indicates).
LOVE THIS RECIPE – fluffy, lightly sweet, tender. Thank you!
★★★★★
Kate
I know, right! I’m so glad you love them. Thanks for the review, Abby!

Would I be able to substitute the eggs with mashed ripe banana instead of flax eggs?

Hi, Kate! I made this recipe today, with all vegan options, and made it in 6 jumbo silicone muffin cups. The recipe came out very well! I was surprised at how high they rose.

Omg these are great!! I used 3/4 cup of whole wheat flour and 1 cup all purpose. I also used 1/2 organic maple syrup and 1/2 organic honey. I also only had one of those mixed berry Greek yogurts in the fridge. You know those “fruit on the bottom” ones. It came out sooooo good!! I topped with course coconut sugar and they came out nice and crispy. Because these are semi healthy, I won’t feel so bad eating them all myself.

The nutritional information has been deleted somehow. Could you please replace it?

wondering could i add banana or would that ruin the muffin
Kate
If you are looking for a banana flavored muffin, I recommend trying my banana muffins! :)
Sam
May I know if we really have to use yogurt? Can we not use it?
Kate
It helps with the moisture, flavor, making them fluffy and the nutritional content. I would recommend keeping it as I’m not sure how they would turn out without it.

These are the best healthy muffins I’ve made. I used evoo and whole grain spelt flour. Also 5% Greek yogurt. I was super careful to spoon the flour and not over stir.
The muffins have great flavor and texture. Not too sweet. My picky 8 year old also liked them.
Thanks!!

These muffins are AMAZING ! I made a double batch…so I could have a few to freeze, used olive oil and 1/2 honey and 1/2 maple syrup.
Just perfect….plus, they’re made with ingredients I normally have on any given day.
Thanks so much….and give Cookie a giant hug for me : )

I’m glad you love them! Freezing muffins is a great idea to always have some on hand. Thanks the review, Kimberly!

These are the best muffins! The addition of lemon zest makes for an AMAZING flavor. I pair one with your blueberry smoothie for breakfast. Keeps me full and energized all morning long!

Thanks for your review, Sarah!

Made this recipe. Making it again now. I have to say these are excellent. I actually thought they’d be more “meh” since they are called “healthy”. I followed recipe, except used regular whole wheat flour, and canola oil (instead of coconut or EVOO). I agree with the higher baking temp of 400 C. Mine took 19 minutes and recipe made 11 regular sized muffins. Thank you for posting this keeper!

I made these yesterday for my birthday breakfast, and they were so yummy! I used blueberries and raspberries, and honey for a sweetener. I will definitely be trying other versions and checking out your other recipes. :)

Hi Kate,
I love your website! I’ve used several of your recipes, and I’m constantly recommending it to my friends.
I’ve made these muffins twice now. The first time I used maple syrup for the sweetener and the second time I used honey. The honey version seems much sweeter. Can I reduce the amount of honey next time? If so, how much? Also, what type of coconut oil do you recommend?
Thanks so much!
Kate
Thank you for sharing the C+K love, Hanna! I don’t have a brand of coconut oil that I always use, organic if I can. If you prefer the maple syrup, I would recommend that. The amount of sweetener helps with the moisture.
Hanna
Thanks Kate! I realized my mistake after I sent my above message.. I was doubling the recipe and was in a hurry. I’m pretty sure I used a half cup of flour less than called for. That would explain it all right there. Looking forward to lots more yummy batches (with the right amount of flour).
Steph
Just wondering, how many grams for the 1 3/4 cup of flour? Because I read somewhere that if you scoop the flour directly without airing it first, it will become heavier and end up with more flour (and denser muffins).
Also because I’m not really a baker, so I prefer to have everything weighed on the scale to get everything right.
Thanks!
Kate
I don’t have the weight for this recipe, sorry! Here’s a great blog post by my friend, Ally, on how to scoop flour. https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/how-to-measure-flour-correctly/

Hi Kate!
I am craving a homemade blueberry walnut muffin with the hearty-ness/texture from the rolled oats of your banana muffins (without the banana). What should a person do… use the banana muffin recipe and just add bluebs and walnuts and ease off the bananas (or sub applesauce)? Or use this recipe and increase the wet ingredients a bit? Thanks in advance for your advice. :)
Christie Rodgers
Delicious! Absolutely perfect mothers day brunch muffin. I made these almost exactly as written (used regular full fat yogurt instead of greek) with olive oil and 1/3c maple syrup. Thank you for all the variation suggestions, I’ll definitely try some of those in the future.

Thanks for your review, Christie!
Alex
Just made these and they turned out really yummy! Love the healthier recipe with whole wheat flour and maple syrup! My toddler loves anything blueberry and coconut so I replaced 3/4 cup of flour with shredded coconut. Wonderful moist, fluffy and absolutely delicious!
Thanks a lot for this recipe :)
