Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Muffins – Drizzle Me Skinny! Recipe enthusiasts

These Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Muffins follow the popularity of my Strawberry Banana Greek Yogurt Muffins. I knew I wanted to create a “spin off” flavor since the strawberry muffins turned out so well. These are popular because they are low in Weight Watchers points without losing any flavor at all. They are amazingly delicious, and because they’re low in points, they make a fantastic breakfast on the go or mid-morning snack. 

The secret is to use flavored non-fat Greek yogurt. Two Good makes a great, low-sugar, lemon Greek yogurt that works well in the recipe. And the good news is, if you can’t find lemon-flavored Greek yogurt, you can always substitute vanilla. Let’s get to baking! 

Three reasons why you need to make this recipe!

They are healthy, but packed with flavor. 

By using flavored nonfat Greek yogurt as well as lemon zest and lemon juice, we’re able to keep the points and calories low without skimping on flavor. Even your kids will enjoy these. 

Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Muffins are super simple to make. 

You don’t need any fancy equipment or be a highly experienced baker to make these muffins. There are just a few simple steps to follow (mostly just stirring things together) before baking them in the oven to golden perfection. 

They make an amazing mid-morning or afternoon snack with a cup of tea or coffee. 

A bit of cake is a great way to satisfy an afternoon energy slump. However, that doesn’t always work well for those of us who are on health journeys. Make these muffins instead, and you’ll still get to enjoy tea time and refresh your energy levels.

Different ways to change up this recipe: 

• Add a bit of spray butter to a warm muffin for ultimate flavor. 
• Mix 1 tablespoon of Swerve Zero Calorie powdered sugar with a tiny bit of lemon juice to create a delicious lemon drizzle for the tops of the muffins. 
• Alternatively, you can make this into a Blueberry Lemon Loaf. Place the batter into a nonstick, sprayed loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes at 350 degrees. The zero-calorie lemon drizzle would be an amazing addition to this loaf. 
• You can easily make these muffins gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend. I would add in an extra teaspoon of baking powder so that they don’t come out too dense. 

Tips and Tricks for Making Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Muffins: 

• If you’re on the current Weight Watchers program, eggs are zero points. So you could use two eggs instead of one egg and one egg white. 
• Make sure your frozen blueberries are the ones with no added sugars. 
• You can use fresh blueberries as long as they are small. Big blueberries will prevent the muffins from baking evenly. I personally used wild blueberries as they are nice and small.
• Store in a sealed container at room temp for 1-2 days. After that, it’s best to store them in the fridge for up to 1 week. 
• These muffins freeze really well in a ziploc freezer bag as long as you don’t put them in warm.
