Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 12 muffins

Ingredients

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2½ teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 cups fresh blueberries, divided
2 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks, beaten to blend
1½ cups plain whole-milk yogurt
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons raw sugar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°. Lightly coat cups of a standard 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray. Whisk all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl to combine. Add 1½ cups blueberries and gently stir until evenly distributed.

    Step 2

    Whisk eggs, yogurt, butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla in a medium bowl until combined and creamy, about 30 seconds. Gently fold egg mixture into dry ingredients just to combine (be careful not to overmix).

    Step 3

    Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Top with remaining ½ cup blueberries, gently pressing to adhere (you should have 4–5 berries per muffin). Sprinkle with raw sugar.

    Step 4

    Bake muffins, rotating pan halfway through, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25–30 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let muffins cool in pan 5 minutes. Turn out onto rack and let cool completely.
