Blender Muffins With Greek Yogurt [No Banana]

When you have multiple kids all in sports, you know the pain of trying to entertain siblings while one kid is at practice. And that means snacks, lots of them. And while I love a good granola bar, packages ancks add up when you’re flying through them.

These Greek yogurt muffins are my new favorite choice for those days. They’re light but nutrient-packed thanks to the Greek yogurt and easy to vary in flavor so that they seem “new”. Along with chocolate chip banana bread no oilthey’re perfect to have on hand. Plus, making them in a blender instead of hand mixing makes portioning and prep easy peasy.

What Makes Them Different💭

Muffins are a dime a dozen on the internet, but there are a few things that make these yogurt blender muffins awesome.

No bananas: Most blender muffins use bananas as the base to bind them; with this recipe, you can skip that (and use your bananas as a whole other snack like these air fryer banana tortilla roll ups!).

6 ingredients: I’ve no time to be hunting down twelve ingredients to make muffins. This recipe requires only six ingredients and a blender, so they come together in a pinch.

Honey sweetened: I don’t mind a bit of sugar, but it’s just not necessary in this recipe. Sweetening with honey does the trick and keeps the muffins a bit more natural.

Ingredients and Substitutions

• Yogurt: Greek yogurt works best for a punch of protein, and any flavor can work. In fact, changing flavors makes for an easy taste swap. Just know that they were originally made with plain yogurt, so if using a sweetened one, you may not need as much honey.
• Flour: I used regular all-purpose flour for the yogurt muffins recipe, but you can make the muffins gluten-free by using a gluten-free baking flour like Bobs Red Mills.
• Dairy-free: There’s a lot of great dairy-free Greek yogurt brands you can use to replace the traditional.

Flavors To Try

The muffins are pretty straightforward, which means there are a lot of ways to adjust them.

Mix ins: I use chocolate chips in the recipe, but any frozen fruit, dried fruit, nuts, or candy can work in the blender muffins recipe.

Fruit: For an extra punch of freshness, swirl in or top the muffins with old fashioned blueberry pancake syrup or my raspberry compote recipe.

How To Make Blender Muffins With Greek Yogurt

Step 1: Add all the ingredients to a blender or mini food processor.

Step 2: Mix or pulse until mostly smooth and combined.

Helpful Hints

• Only fill the muffin cups 2/3 of the way to the top. The yogurt muffins do expand a bit, and you don’t want them to go over.
• Let them cool fully. If you try to remove the muffins before they’re fully cooled, they’ll tear.
• Don’t overblend the batter as it makes for dry muffins. Blend it until everything is just combined.
• If you want chocolate chips throughout the muffins, once you top them, swirl them in with a spatula or spoon. Then sprinkle a few more on top to make them pretty.

How To Store Them

The counter: Store Greek yogurt muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To keep them extra moist, place a paper towel in the container to absorb excess moisture.

In the fridge: For longer storage, refrigerate the muffins for up to 1 week. Let them come to room temperature or warm them in the microwave for a few seconds before serving for the best texture (they firm up a bit!).

Freezing: These muffins also freeze well. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or microwave individually for a quick breakfast or snack.

How To Serve Them

These blender muffins work for a snack or breakfast. So, pair them with any of the following depending on what you need.

• Make them into a brunch and serve them with smoked salmon frittata with gruyere cream cheese or cinnamon Brioche French toast.
• Grab a banana or some berries and use them as a quick snack at practice.
• Par them with fried eggs in the air fryer for a speedy breakfast.
