My dad has been asking me to bake some fruit muffins for him. It was almost 2 weeks ago then. :P I felt kind of bad the previous time I went back to visit my parents...empty handed! I know it'll sound like an excuse if I tell him I'm too busy to bake. :P Furthermore it wasn't anything hard to do...probably 2 hours tops. So this weekend I made it a point to complete his "order" before it slips out of my mind again. Something not too sweet, so I went with simple Blueberry Yogurt Muffins...sort of a classic choice. :) Good thing I was meeting with my parents for dinner on Saturday, they can have these for breakfast on Sunday morning. :) 
I guess besides banana bread, blueberry muffins are probably one of those most frequently baked cake at home. :) Even if fresh berries are not available, frozen ones will do just as fine. :) For me, I simply couldn't resist, but to buy a large box of fresh blueberries during my last trip back to California, brought it all the way back home to Singapore and freeze 3/4 of them. Now I have blueberries to bake all year round, heehee. ;P
Blueberry Yogurt Muffins
85g unsalted butter
150g cake flour
200g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
215g caster sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
100ml fresh milk
150 non-fat blueberry yogurt
1.5 cups fresh / frozen blueberries
Method:
I love the moist texture of the muffins and the blueberries give it a slight tang to counter the sweetness.
I'm not sure if it's just me, but do you find that those blueberries look "purplish"? Always thought they are blue...until now! Lol! BTW, I better call my dad later and check if he likes it ...whether I pass his QC. :) Blue or purple, they are plum and juicy, yum! Do ahead and bake a batch of muffins for your love ones today. ;)

These two muffins are my favorite and always my preference especially for my breakfast once a week. I got to try out your version of blueberry yogurt muffins. I looks like quite fluffy. I like fluffy muffins! Thanks!
There are two kinds of blueberry here. The high-bush blueberry and the low-bush blueberry,native to North America from Minnesota eastward, are the species most often cultivated, and a number of varieties are now grown in the East and West. So one type will give you the dark blue color and the other one will give a nice purple color. Personally I like the purple color kind :)Like you I will buy lots of it during season and freeze it up so I can use it all year round. Frozen blueberry are too expensive :)
You are most welcome Grace. ;) Glad that you will try out this recipe. Remember to toast it before serving it. ;) Enjoy!
Heehee, thanks Gert for clarifying that different color "species" of the blueberries. ;) Me too! The purplish kind are more plum and juicy. Seems like Asia doesn't carry them though. :P
Hey Bee Bee I'm sure your dad will love it..:) I remember I baked for my dad his favourite butter cake, it was not just the cake but our love in it that made him smile. Agree?
Btw, your muffins really make me want a piece right now leh...;p
The muffins look so cute and fluffy! I can't wait to try it. as soon as i can get my hands on some blueberries that is..
Hi Reese,
Is it, but my dad very frank one leh...he will say not nice if he doesn't like it, lol! Heehee, sure! I will bake something for you the next time I go back KL. Since got my own kitchen and oven..shouldn't be a problem. ;)
Hi joyceyvonna,
Hope you like this muffins. ;) Good for breakfast too! Enjoy!
I love making blueberry muffins. I've never tried using yogurt before. It sounds like a healthier alternative. I didn't know you could bring fruit from CA to Singapore! They don't restrict it?
Hi kirbie,
Hope you will like this recipe. My daughters love it. :) Mmm...don't know leh...I wasn't stopped at all at the airport. :)
WHAT!!?? You're allowed to lug fresh fruit across the U.S. border!!?? That's unbelievable! I guess Malaysians aren't allowed to do that ... So jealous, you get to bake with blueberries all year round! *LOL*
Oh, I love how the juice of blueberries ran down and got thickened and cooked during baking! Definitely a way to tell the world these muffins rule! They look so moist and yummy!
These are my favourite. If I go to cafe I often have this with coffee. Yours look very moist and delicious.
Pei-Lin, *shush*...don't break my cover! I am planning to bring in white peaches in my next trip, lol! Yeah...I love that juicy blueberry shot too! *thick skinned* Heehee...
Thanks MaryMoh,
Do try this recipe when you can. Next time you can enjoy your coffee with a freshly baked blueberry muffin in the comfort of your home. ;)
the muffins must b very delicious, feel like giving a bite
Thanks Bakericious. ;)
Hi,
I baked some blue berry muffins twice last year. I remember my muffins tasted nice on the very day that I baked but turned sourish the following day. Did you encounter the same problem?
K
this is gorgeous! just amazed with all your bakes! fly me one!:)
Hi K,
Oh...sour the very next day? Did you leave your muffin out in the heat? Usually I will leave my muffin out in a cool area for 2 days, then put in the fridge on the 3rd day. Never had any muffin gone sour problem. Do try to use the freshest ingredients if you can. Good luck!
Hi BBO,
I am sure Sunny or you can bake up a much yummier muffin then me. ;) But perhaps you catch me a cloud first, then will make some cloud muffin which will fly over to you, heehee! ;)
Hi,
I used fresh blue berries from NTUC. I put the muffins in the fridge. The next day, I wrapped the muffins individually with foil and re-heated in the oven for a couple of mins just to warm the muffins slightly.
After the two bad experiences, I daren't bake blue berry muffins anymore. But I really like the taste of the freshly baked blue berry muffins.

Hi, Dying to try this recipe. Can u please clarify the amt of blueberry yogurt..is it 150 ml or 150g? Thanks!!
Hi K,
Hmm...I really don't know what went wrong with those blueberry muffins. :P And I am sorry it discourages you to bake them again. Perhaps next time try to bake in smaller portions and you might be able to finish them up in time or share with your love ones. ;) Good luck!
Hi Chris,
150g = 150ml. ;) Have fun baking them!
A lot of blueberries in your muffins. Nice.
Thanks tigerfish. The more the "berrier"1:)
I love how that one blueberry is drizzling down the side. And that the muffins are PACKED FULL of blueberries! these look great!
Thanks Elizabeth and Jared. :) I love that shot too. Welcome to my blog and thanks for the note. ;)

Hi Juliana,
Welcome to my blog. ;) Glad that you like my yogurt muffins. Thanks and hope to see you here again!
I bought a pack of frozen blueberries from Cold Storage in Mid Valley recently. Not cheap over here. These classic muffins never fail to delight, esp with a cup of hot coffee on a fresh morning!
I love these blueberries muffins. They look very fluffy.
Hi Joslynn,
Yeah the blueberries here in Asia are expensive. But sometimes I can't resist fresh berries...it does make the bakes yummier! ;) Thanks for dropping by and your lovely note.
