Greek Yogurt Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 2 large eggs
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 tablespoon turbinado or coarse sugar, for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until pale and slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
4. Whisk in the Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, vanilla, and milk until smooth and well combined.
5. If using frozen blueberries, toss them with 1 tablespoon of the dry flour mixture in a small bowl to help prevent them from sinking or bleeding into the batter.
6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just a few streaks of flour remain; do not overmix, a lumpy batter is exactly right.
7. Fold in the blueberries with just 2 or 3 more gentle strokes.
8. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full, and sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar if using.
9. Bake at 400 F for 5 minutes, then, without opening the oven, lower the temperature to 350 F and continue baking for 15 to 17 minutes more.
10. The muffins are done when the tops are golden and spring back when lightly pressed, and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a moist crumb but no wet batter.
11. Cool the muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes more before serving.
