These Blueberry muffins packed with flaxseed meal, yogurt and whole wheat pack just the right sweetness and are super soft with a crunchy cinnamon-sugar topping!
I love blueberry muffins. Out of all the zillion of muffin flavors out there, blueberry muffins are my favorite. So everytime I go to a coffee shop, blueberry muffins are on my to get list. ALWAYS. But not anymore. Since I started making my own blueberry muffins, I look forward to eating them with almost every meal. But usually they are not that healthy. Made with all purpose flour, packed with good amount of butter and lots of sugar, they leave you with no choice but to enjoy them only as an occasional treat.
BUT NOT ANYMORE.
These muffins are seriously SOFT just like a good blueberry muffin is intended to be. With time they keep getting better and so soft that it was so hard for me to stop just at one. While photographing them I ended up eating almost 2 muffins. Oops!
Made with white whole wheat flour, little flaxseed meal, moderate amount of sugar, lots of fresh blueberries and yogurt, they are a competition to those buttery store bought or bakery muffins. And that crunchy cinnamon-sugar topping just makes them irresistible.
I mean look at that crunchy topping! I am all about good moist muffins with a crunchy sugar topping. My favorite kind but if you are not too crazy about crunchy toppings, you can leave the addition of sugar-cinnamon mixture on top and instead add 1/4 cup sugar extra inside muffin batter to make them little extra sweet.
Still thinking, get BAKING!

Hey they look yum yum … I want to make them for my kiddo … Any substitute for eggs ?
what can i substitute eggs for and would that result in same taste?
You can try substituting with flax or chia seeds egg that is for 1 egg replace with 3 tbsp water + 1 tbsp ground flaxseed or chia seeds
This is a great muffin recipe! I had to make a few modification to fit what I had at home and they turned out perfectly. I used 1 cup white flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour and had to add about 3 tablespoons of extra milk as the batter was too dry. I used frozen blueberries. I also didn’t add the topping (to keep the sugar and calories down a bit) and they were fantastic. Didn’t have muffin liners so I just sprayed the muffin tins. Really great. Thanks for the recipe!
Great to hear that you enjoyed these muffins Mary 🙂
