What’s a girl to do when she cannot decide between two recipes? Two become one, of course! (Did that remind anyone else of that Spice Girl song? When two become oooooone…) I was in the mood for lemon goodies, but I wanted to make something with blueberries. When I saw that the grocery store had Chobani yogurt on sale last week, I knew just what to make.
Sometimes things just work together, and in this case, blueberry + lemon = win.
Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups flour (I used whole wheat flour, but any light/all-purpose four should be okay.)
- 1/2 cup sugar (aka: white devil)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 TBS lemon zest
- 1 chia egg (1 TBS chia + 2 TBS water)
- 1 container Chobani lemon yogurt (or other)
- 1/2 cup milk (I used skim, but I would have preferred unsweetened almond.)
- 2.5 TBS oil (I used olive, but I bet coconut would work well too.)
- 3 TBS unsweetened applesauce
- 1 TBS lemon juice
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, mix your chia egg and let it get all gummy while you prep the other ingredients. Preheat oven to 375 F.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients, through salt. Whisk. Add lemon zest and briefly whisk again.
- In the chia egg bowl, add the yogurt, milk, oil, applesauce, and lemon juice.
- Stir wet into dry ingredients, but do not over-mix. Fold in 3/4 cup blueberries. Fill greased muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 375 degrees F for 22-26 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Leave muffins in the pan for 5-10 minutes before cooling on rack or plate.
It’s difficult to get a good picture in this house, especially if you want decent morning lighting. Between a husband who doesn’t understand, “let it cool” and cats who think they run the show, I was lucky to get one decent picture.
Enjoy the muffins! If you make them, please let me know what you think.

Any recipe that calls for Chobani and blueberries is a winning recipe in my book. NICE! Can’t wait to try.

You’re right about that!

Hahaha I used to love that Spice Girls song! And these muffins look fantastic. I wish we could get lemon Chobani here in Canada… they’ve only released 4 flavours here so far!

Oh no! I wonder if the tart flavor of plain Greek yogurt would still work.

I’ve been putting the lemon stevia in yogurt with blueberries. IT’s such a great combination! These look great!

First – I am eating a lemon cho and blueberries right now. Seriously, not joking.
Second – now that song is stuck in my head (and I’m not even a little upset about it)!

Muffins aka the naked cupcake! YEAS!! I can so do this, how delicious. I love muffins and lemon poppy/blueberry are at the top of my list. Looks fantastic.

Those look delicious! I love the lemon and blueberry combo. Jealous of your Chobani! It is my favorite but we do not have it here yet.

I am down with lemon-flavored anything right now. And loooove yogurt-based baked goods. Light and refreshing in this insane heat!

What is a chia egg?
July 3, 2012 at 2:52 pm
It’s 1 TBS chia (ground chia may work better, but my whole seeds did okay) and 2 TBS water mixed together. I really like flax “eggs” too!
July 3, 2012 at 12:51 pm
These are absolutely going to be made. And soon, I can promise you that. And you get props for the Spice Girls reference. I thought of it before I read that you did as well!
July 3, 2012 at 2:34 pm
These look fantastic!I don’t think I’ve ever tried the lemon/blueberry combo, but it sounds delish
July 3, 2012 at 5:28 pm
Mmm these look delicious.
July 3, 2012 at 7:54 pm
Those look so yummyyyyyy!!! Lemon and Blueberry is a HEAVENLY combo
I wonder if there’s a non-dairy sub for the chobani?

These lemon blueberry muffins look fantastic, and they just happen to be two of my favorite flavors. I can’t wait to try them. By the way, your cat cracks me up. Mine tends to get into our food too. He’s eaten my salads, sun dried tomatoes and even a recent batch of Kale Chips. I literally cannot turn my back on him.
