Lemon Blueberry Greek Yogurt Muffins

My Greek Yogurt Cream Cheese Lemon Coffee Cake has been my most popular recipe I’ve shared here so far.  I’m amazed that in just a few short weeks it has been pinned over 25,000 times!  That’s kind of a big deal for a little newbie blogger like me!  I’m ashamed to admit it reminds me a little of that feeling I had in junior high when one of popular cheerleader girls told me in front of all her friends that she liked my brown leather six hole Dr. Marten’s.  They like me! They like me!

I’ve had lots of good feedback about the recipe, and I’ve made it a few more times myself just to make sure it really is that good.  Gotta say, I really love it.

I needed to bring something to my monthly mom’s group last week, and so I decided to merge the lemon coffee cake recipe with a blueberry muffin.  I do that a lot with recipes.  My brain is always thinking of all the different possible variations, especially when I’m trying to fall asleep and I’m a little bit hungry!

My boys always hope I’ll bring home the extras when I bring food to my mom’s group, and since these were totally gone, I had to make some more when we got home.  I made a half recipe and used my mini muffin tin, which makes 24 little muffins.  My boys ate all of them that same day.  And then told me they really don’t care for blueberries.  Could’ve fooled me!

What I love about this cake batter is that it really is so lightly lemony, and not too sweet.  The streusel topping is where you get some sweetness from, which balances it all very nicely.  And of course I love using Greek yogurt in my baked goods.  Happy Monday friends!
