Bakery Style Blackberry Muffins Recipe
Deliciously moist, these sugar crusted blackberry yogurt muffins are relatively low in fat and have just 150 calories each - making a great breakfast, brunch or anytime treat!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1-1/2 teaspoons orange zest
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup zero-calorie sweetener (I used Lankato Monkfruit)
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blackberries (I used frozen)
- 1-1/2 teaspoons sanding sugar, for topping (optional but highly recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees and line a standard muffin pan with 6 liners and lightly spray with nonstick baking spray.
- Whisk together the yogurt, egg, melted butter and orange zest in a small mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
- In another clean mixing bowl, whisk together the flower, sweetener, baking powder and baking soda until well mixed. Gently fold in the blackberries and lightly toss until coated with flour mixture.
- Stir the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture and mix just until the flour mixture is absorbed.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 6 prepared muffin cups. Lightly sprinkle the sanding sugar over the tops of the muffins.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center of each muffin comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container, or individually wrapped in plastic wrap for a quick grab-n-go snack.

(Must be logged into WW on a smartphone or tablet.) 4 PointsPlus (Old plan) Feel free to use either fresh or frozen blackberries to make these muffins. I prefer fresh and since the berries at my local grocery store were not looking very good, I opted for frozen blackberries without any added sugar. Use your favorite zero-calorie sugar substitute: Lankato Monkfruit, In the Raw, Stevia, Swerve, etc. are all good options. I'm on a monkfruit kick at the moment, so that's what I have in my pantry. Sanding sugar is a coarse sugar that is used for decorating baked goods (cookies, muffins, etc.) and can usually be found in the baking section of your grocery store. It generally comes in a variety of colors as well as white/clear.
