Blackberry Yogurt Muffins
Blackberry Yogurt Muffins with a light glaze are moist and flavorful. Delicious choice for breakfast or brunch.
Yogurt Muffins With Blackberries
These gorgeous fresh blackberries were on sale at my grocery store, and since I love a good bargain, I had to stock up on them.
I thought about making a batch of my blackberry margaritas, but after unpacking groceries, it was only 10:30 in the morning, not a time I usually break out the tequila 🙂
Instead, I made these Blackberry Yogurt Muffins and they were delicious!
Healthy Yogurt Muffins
I healthified (that really should be a legitimate word!) the muffins just a little by adding part whole wheat, yogurt for the moisture content and boost in protein.
Plus fresh berries, one of the best natural antioxidants ever!
These yogurt muffins are not too sweet, but they still taste like a treat, especially with the glaze added to them.
I made these for my co-workers as a welcome home treat. See, our office has been going under building renovations, so some of the staff was relocated to a different site.Â
A skeleton crew was left behind, which included me, so for 3 or so months now my taste testers were on the other side of town!
I think my co-workers are happy to be back sampling my treats as well because the muffins sure didn’t last long!
