Blueberry Whole Wheat Yogurt Muffins





I don't like plain greek yogurt; I think it sort of tastes like something regurgitated. I had great intentions when I bought it, but alas, it is almost expired and I needed to do something with it.
So I made these muffins.

Adapted from this recipe (which calls for white flour)

Ingredients: (enough for 12 standard size muffins, double recipe if you want more).

4 Tb butter, softened (I used salted)
1/2 c brown sugar
1 egg
3/4 c plain yogurt (I prob could have used more with the wheat flour; next time if I do wheat I will use 1 cup)
1/4 tsp salt (though you could omit since the original recipe calls for unsalted butter-- I like the taste though)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 c blueberries (next time I will use 1 cup)



Preheat oven to 350. Cream together butter and sugar, add egg and yogurt, mix well. Add dry ingredients, continue to mix well. The mixture will be thick; almost a cookie consistency. Do not let it sit and harden; immediately fold in blueberries and scoop into greased muffin tin. Bake on med oven rack for 20 mins, or until golden brown. Immediately remove from muffin tins to prevent overcooking and place on cooling rack. Enjoy with butter or yogurt, or fresh and plain!
