We are muffins lovers in our home. They are the perfect simple breakfast, especially on mornings we have places to be (aka Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays) and don't have the time to make a big breakfast of our usual eggs, bacon and toast. Our go-to muffins are banana chocolate chip but who can resist a good lemon + blueberry muffin? A match made in heaven.
There are all sorts of fun recipes circulating on Pinterest and after picking up a new muffin pan on clearance from Anthropologie, I couldn't resist whipping up a batch. I've actually never baked with greek yogurt before but I think that's one reason they turned out so moist and delicious. I've made mine to be gluten free by substituting regular flour for Cup4Cup gf flour but all-purpose flour will certainly do the trick!
