Today’s BFF are these delicious Greek Yogurt Blueberry Muffins from the lovely Ashley of Kitchen Meets Girl. Ashley adapted this recipe from the Blueberry Streusel Muffins recipe from Weight Watchers.
These are perfect to make on a weekend or any time you’re looking for fantastic treat without a ton of guilt!
My substitutions were using 1 cup of almond meal in place of 1 cup of flour and stevia instead of sugar for the muffin mix, and using a buttery spread instead of butter for the streusel.
Here’s the recipe. Enjoy!

Greek Yogurt Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp table salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 large egg
3/4 cup sugar, divided
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup fat free skim milk, divided
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, washed
For the streusel:
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. Place muffin liners in a 12-hole muffin pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg with 3/4 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Add yogurt and beat until thoroughly combined; blend in vanilla extract.
- Add half of flour mixture and half of milk to sugar mixture; beat until just combined. Add remaining flour mixture and milk; beat until smooth.
- Fold in blueberries and fill each muffin liner about 3/4 full.
To make streusel topping:
- Combine remaining 1/4 cup each of sugar and flour in a small bowl.
- Pour in melted butter and combine with fingertips.
- Divide crumb mixture over muffins; gently press into top of muffin batter with fingertips.
Bake for 5 minutes at 425, then reduce your oven temperature to 325. Bake for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, or until slightly golden and a toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool in pans for about 10 to 15 minutes and then transfer muffins onto racks to cool completely.
