How do people get up early enough to make muffins for breakfast? I am not a weekend early bird. Unless brekkie is at 10:00, I don’t think I have it in me to crank out freshly-baked muffins. These Lemony Yogurt Muffins started off as evening dessert…but leftovers made it to the breakfast table the next morning.

Even if I don’t function well enough to bake after I’ve stumbled out of bed, these did come together really easily. I admit I didn’t have the key ingredient– I was out of yogurt! I subbed plain kefir, which I worried would make the batter too thin, but I don’t think it did any harm at all. Dorie says the blueberries are an optional add to the lemon-scented batter, which I had to go for. It’s a lot of blueberries– like a truckload– and I can’t even imagine what these muffins would be like without them. These are really moist and delicious and bursting with berries (the berry bulk also yielded extra muffins). I actually made this recipe a couple of years ago and thought they got a bit too crusty on top, so for this round I reduced the baking temperature to 375°. I glazed the hot muffins with marmalade, as Dorie suggested. The chunky peel bits on the muffin tops aren’t my favorite look, but the sweet-tart marmalade on top sure did taste good, and I think it helped keep the muffins really soft overnight.

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan, get it and join us as we bake through it every second and fourth Tuesdays. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll and all the other participation deets over on Tuesdays with Dorie!

Great photo as always. My husband likes fresh bakery items so I try and prep as much in advance as I can, then he happily waits for fresh muffins with his morning Joe. Orange marmalade would be my husband’s favorite accompaniment.

I am with you hahaha! We usually have ours for an afternoon snack, or leftovers for breakfast! They always seem fine…maybe because we don’t ever have them fresh for breakfast. 😂. I think yours look great…as usual!
