Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Beat the butter and caster sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs and beat in for 1 min, then mix in the yogurt, vanilla extract and milk. Combine the flour, baking powder and bicarb in a bowl with 1/4 tsp fine salt, then tip this into the wet ingredients and stir in. Finally, fold in the blueberries and divide the mixture between the muffin cases.

  2. Bake for 5 mins, then reduce oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bake for 15-18 mins more until risen and golden, and a cocktail stick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

  3. Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then carefully lift out onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Will keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container – after a day or two, pop them in the microwave for 10-15 secs on high to freshen up.

We used sour cream as needed eating and cut the sugar to 120g, it made 17 muffins, they are so delish. Both kids enjoyed making and eating them.

Me and my little friend, who i spend little time weekly on home education. We found this recipe very easy and quick to follow, understandable and great fun. The Muffins were (in my little friends opinion) "Realllyyyyyyyyyyy Yummy ;) very tasty.

Light and fluffy yum! This recipe is great! The addition of yoghurt helps the batter mixture to ferment and produces a more lighter fluffy texture than the stodgy variety in shop bought ones. The muffins are not overly sweet and more delicately flavoured. I sprinkled the muffins with oats for a finishing touch. Lovely!!

Did exactly what the recipe said but when I tasted them afterwards they TASTED LIKE BAKING POWDER and were NOT SWEET at all. Throwing these in the bin waste of time

Super easy and tasty muffins, that developed a nice sweet crust to them whilst not being overly sweet. I used the suggestion of 100ml of rapeseed oil instead of butter and also used blueberry yoghurt (didn't have any plain) and they came out perfectly.

Really good result, light, beautiful, delicious. I added lemon zest and used black currant instead of blueberry. No one complained :)

Lovely, really light and fluffy muffins. I didn't have any plain flour so I used self raising minus the bicarb and baking powder. I might try adding a little lemon zest next time too. I used 0% fat Greek style yogurt which added a lively subtle tang. Will definitely make again.

They didn’t rise, were stodgy and stuck to the paper. Taste was missing something.

Is it supposed to be really floury and thick ?

Thanks for your question. It should be a fairly thick, dropping consistency ie if you scoop up a spoon of mixture, it should drop off the spoon without too much difficulty. If it is really dry, add another tablespoon or two of milk.
