03 - Whisk Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth.
04 - Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
05 - Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour to prevent sinking, then fold gently into batter.
06 - Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
07 - Bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
08 - Let muffins cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Each muffin delivers 7 grams of protein while still tasting like something from a bakery, not a supplement aisle
  • The blueberries stay juicy and burst in your mouth, creating little pockets of sweetness throughout every bite
02 -
  • Overmixing the batter is the quickest way to end up with tough, rubbery muffins instead of tender ones
  • Frozen blueberries do not need to be thawed, and actually hold their shape better than fresh ones sometimes
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients mix more evenly and give you the best texture
  • Letting them cool completely before storing prevents that soggy bottom situation
