Blueberry Yogurt Crumb Muffins.
Sometimes I like to be boring.
In fact, I crave it.
I’m the queen of lowkey Saturday nights. Please just give me a couch, a warm home, some sort of snack and I’m golden. Maybe some good TV. A compelling book. Or just like fifty hilarious youtube videos.
Even my neon obsession gets a bit boring at times because it’s all… just… so… bright.
Where I can’t stand to be bored is… my food.
Yet, being the hypocrite that I am, there are exceptions. I just don’t always want a muffin stuffed with chocolate chips and raspberries and mashed banana and walnuts and forty other ingredient. I just sometimes want blueberry. Warm muffins where those giant blueberry bulbs burst in your mouth and even though they are super hot and burn every last tastebud off of you’re tongue, you love it because it’s ideal comfort food. Especially when slathered in butter.
Only a few things taste like that. All homey and stuff.
You may remember back in the day when I used to go on muffin making binges. I guess I’m back on one and this was my fourth batch in two weeks. I can’t get enough of their puffy little interior. I’ve even been enjoying one for breakfast with some peanut butter and this is a big honking deal since in a previous life I only considered muffins to be snack worthy. And snack worthy only. But these fluff nuggets are made with whole wheat pastry flour and a little crunchy top and the fattest blueberries in all the land.
Whole Wheat Blueberry Yogurt Crumb Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 2/3 cup loosely packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, I like 2%
- 2/3 cup milk
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries, tossed in flour
crumb topping
- 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/4 cup loosely packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, flaxseed, baking soda, powder, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, yogurt, milk, butter and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix! Use a spatula to stir in the blueberries. Fill the muffin tins 3/4 of the way full. Sprinkle the top of each muffin with the crumb mixture. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until just set and golden on top. Let cool slightly before eating.
crumb topping
- In a bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and cinnamon. Use your fingers or a fork to add the butter to the mixture and mix until small crumbs remain. I do this with my fingers and take a good 2-3 minutes.

Muffins with crumb topping make me die.
Especially when they are healthy and whole wheat and Greek yogurt-y.
Pinned!
Blueberry muffins are one of those things, you can never have too many recipes for! Big blueberries that are so juicy and burst in your mouth is my dream blueberry muffin!
I only get to eat muffins if i make them at home. I simply can not stand store brought( mainly for the size but still)
Deliciously same but great!
Sounds like you and I like to spend our evenings in similar ways!! I love blueberry muffins, and this summer when I was in BC, they had blueberry farms practically everywhere. They were the biggest blueberries I’ve ever seen!! Unfortunately I didn’t have a lot of spare time for baking but I’m going back this summer and perhaps a little muffin making will be on the agenda!
YUMMMO! Can I omit the flaxseed and sub almond milk for regular milk?
yep! you may want to add another tablespoon or two of flour if you take out the flax.
Fluff nuggets! Hahaha. That made me laugh. I call my baby girl my little nugget, sometimes love nugget. Whatever happens to fall out of my mouth at the time.
Now this is LOVE!
Love these pictures! These muffins looks devine. And I’m totally with ya on the lowkey Saturday nights. Add in a glass of wine (or two), and I’m in heaven.
I wish I could have this for breakfast. The crumb topping looks especially inviting! I might have to cave and buy some blueberries this weekend–I actually really like using the wild blueberries from TJ’s too because they are really concentrated in flavor!
I’m totally cool with this whole muffin binge thing too.
Blueberry muffins are the BEST! So yummy. I like how you used Greek Yogurt in yours! That crumb topping looks divine… :)
WOW!!! looks so good !!
Oh wow. They look amazing. I much prefer Blueberry muffins to chocolate ones :-)
Are there any alterations you need to make if you use plain old regular AP flour? I don’t have whole wheat on hand but want to make these stat (and, clearly, don’t feel like going to the store). They look scrumptious!
nope! i almost always use whole wheat pastry and all-purpose interchangeably.
I love how crumbly and flavorful these muffins look!
I live for boring…. annnnd I love blueberry bulb bursting muffins!
Can I go home and make these stat? (Wonder if my boss would mind??) They look delicious!
THESE and coffee = Saturday morning. Thank you!
Perfection! I will take a dozen!
Totally making these tomorrow morning so I can inhale half of them after my run! :)
These look amazing! Perfect food to snuggle up in your pyjamas after a hard day and eat :)

I’m with you. I like my muffins straight up. And blueberry are my favorite! Pinning this to make over the weekend. With 10+ inches of snow on the way, I’ll have PLENTY of time in the kitchen. Happy Friday!!
Classic recipes like these just hit the spot! I know that blueberry-burn-the-tongue sensation so well (similar to the hot lava cookie burn I get every time I bake because why would I do something reasonable like wait for them to cool?)

These look fantastic! Love all of those fresh blueberries.
We’re all about being boring, it’s one of my favorite past times. I’m also all about these yummy looking muffins!
Definitely making babies this weekend!!! Yummmm,

Blueberry Muffins are my fave! Sometimes simple really is better.
There is nothing better than a freshly baked blueberry muffin <3
Blueberry muffins are classic and always the best!
a muffin + a kahlua & coffee + a little jax teller in my life? I will sign up for this kinda Friday night
girl. you’re speaking my language.
Hoping to eat these muffins for breakfast all weekend long & to spend my Saturday night with a House of Cards marathon!
I know what you mean! I think sometimes with blogging we think that we have to have the next crazy flavor combo or insane dessert; but it’s classic recipes like these muffins that we all eat on a regular basis and I think love the most!
Could I sub regular whole wheat flour or would that make them too dense? Or half whole wheat half A/P? They look delicious! Always love a muffin with a crumb topping
i personally don’t like regular ww flour because, yes, they are way too dense. a 50/50 mix would work better.

These are beautiful! My toddler is a huge blueberry fan and will love these!
Gorgeous muffins, love all those pretty blues!
I just had something similar at Starbucks the other day and it was amazing. I gotta try these!
When I was a kid I used to B.E.G. my mom to get the boxed muffin mix that had the crumb topping!! I must have driven her crazy. These muffins look amazing, I can’t wait to let the sugary spiced crumb topping melt in my mouth just like when I was a kid. Thanks Jess!
I don’t think these are boring at all! I love crumb muffins and rarely bake with yogurt. BOOM! Excitement.
Oh heck yes, you can never have too many blueberry muffins in your life. And sometimes, boring is my favorite thing to be :)
Blueberry Muffins are the best! I can never have too many recipes for them!
Any muffin with a crumb topping is one I want to be eating!
You always have the best muffins! Your muffin binge days are my goto muffin recipes (specifically your oatmeal cookie muffin-FAVORITE EVER) anyway, my whole purpose in commenting is really to ask where did you get those adorable floral straws?! OMG need.
target!
I made these tonight to have for breakfast tomorrow. I substituted almond milk for cow’s milk and I didn’t use any flax. They are pretty darn good, I think my little one will devour them in the morning. I did have to add more blueberries and next time I will probably double the crumb topping. Definitely a keeper for a healthier muffin.
Blueberry muffins are sometimes just where it’s at. This is where it’s at.
These look and sound delicious! lovely photos!
I don’t keep pastry flour on hand. Aside from maybe some density difference in texture, is there any reason couldn’t use another type of flour (like all purpose or white whole wheat )??
you can definitely use all-purpose or white ww!
What a coincidence! I was JUST craving some blueberry muffins (Blueberry scones actually, but pretty close.) This looks wonderful!
I will Pin it, definitely a keeper:)
I have a big bag of frozen Maine blueberries on hand.. Would these work in the muffins??
they might – i would probably thaw and dry them first though. if frozen, they might release too much liquid when baking.
