Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter, cooled slightly
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/4 cups fresh blueberries

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar in a large bowl until no lumps remain.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk egg, applesauce, melted butter, vanilla, and yogurt until smooth.
  3. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and fold with a spatula just until no dry flour streaks remain. Gently fold in blueberries.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Divide batter into a lined 12-cup muffin tin and bake 18 to 20 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  5. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Serve warm.

Notes

These muffins are at their softest on the day they are baked. If you plan to enjoy them later, a quick 10-second microwave zap brings back that fresh-from-the-oven tenderness.
