Ingredients:

  1. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  3. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  4. 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  5. 2 teaspoons baking powder
  6. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  7. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  8. 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  9. 2 large eggs
  10. 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  11. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  12. Zest of 2 lemons
  13. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  14. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  15. 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together, ensuring an even distribution.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together non-fat Greek yogurt, eggs, unsweetened applesauce, melted unsalted butter, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract. This wet mixture forms the flavorful base of your muffins.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix. A few lumps are okay; overmixing may result in denser muffins.
  5. Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter. The burst of sweetness from the blueberries enhances the overall flavor profile.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the muffins cool, prepare a simple lemon glaze by combining 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Adjust the consistency to your liking.
  10. Once the muffins are completely cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of each muffin, adding a sweet and tangy finish.
  11. Optional: Garnish each muffin with a sprinkle of lemon zest for an extra burst of citrus aroma.
  12. Serve these Weight Watchers Lemon Blueberry Muffins as a delightful breakfast treat, snack, or dessert, and relish in the harmonious blend of flavors.
