Blueberry Yogurt Oatmeal Muffins

These blueberry yogurt muffins are made using Greek yogurt, blueberries, rolled oats and flour. They’re incredibly delicious, not too sweet, and make a delightful snack.

I really like to make a double batch of the recipe and freeze half for later. This makes it easy for family members to grab one, wrap it in a paper towel, and reheat it in the microwave whenever they’re feeling hungry.

I love easy grab-and-go breakfast ideas like my 6 easy pancake muffin flavors, popular banana oatmeal muffins, and flaxseed muffins!

You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries, but if you’re using frozen, make sure to thaw them first and drain any excess liquid.

Recipe Tips

  • I prefer to use fresh blueberries because they won’t stain the batter. Frozen blueberries release a lot of liquid and will turn the muffins a purple-grey color.
  • When you stir the batter, only mix until all the ingredients are combined just enough. Overmixing will activate the gluten and make the muffins a more chewy texture.
  • You can use this same recipe to create chocolate chip muffins. Just swap the blueberries with 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  • Try adding 1 Tbsp of lemon zest to the batter! Lemon and blueberry taste great together.
  • You can use a different type of fruit in this recipe. Try using raspberries, blackberries, or diced strawberries instead of blueberries.
  • I used plain Greek yogurt for this recipe. You can also use plain yogurt, sour cream or a dairy-free yogurt alternative.

How To Store Leftovers

  • To Store Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing Muffins – An easy trick to prevent muffins from sticking together is to flash freeze them in the muffin pan for 2 hours after they’ve completely cooled from baking. After that, place them in a large freezer bag and remove as much air as possible. These can be frozen for up to 6 months for the best freshness.
  • To Thaw – Place in the microwave for 30 seconds wrapped in a paper towel.

  • Ultra Power Hand Mixer I prefer to bake with a hand mixer instead of a stand mixer as it takes up a lot less space and is much more affordable. This Kitchenaid mixer is the one that I have and I love it!
  • Non Stick Muffin Pan I highly recommend getting two good-quality muffin pans an making a double batch of this recipe so you can freeze half of the muffins for later.
  • 3-Set Mixing Bowls This set of 3 mixing bowls makes it easy to mix ingredients. They stack nicely with each other and are easy to clean.
  • Magnetic Measuring Spoons Set I love these magnetic measuring spoons which stay nice and organized together when storing them!
  • Silicone Spatula (Tool Set) A good set of silicone cooking utensils makes life in the kitchen so much easier.
