Ingredients

  • One box 15.25 oz yellow cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted but not hot
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups 12 oz of fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Combine the yogurt, melted butter, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla in a bowl or large measuring cup and whisk until smooth. 
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the cake mix and stir until almost completely incorporated, but the dry mix is still streaking the batter.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries until just mixed and no dry ingredients are showing. The batter will be very thick.
  • Divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups. It will look like too much batter but that’s ok, the batter will fill the cups and rise into big bakery-style muffins.
  • Bake the blueberry muffins at 400 degrees F for 18-22 minutes until lightly browned around the edges and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Notes

  • Whole milk yogurt, 2%, and nonfat Greek yogurt work for this recipe
