Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups flour (all-purpose or gluten-free flour)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh blueberries

Optional Lemon Glaze

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Recipe Notes

• You can use all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour. I used GF 1:1 flour.

• I prefer to squeeze my own fresh lemon juice, but you can use bottled lemon juice in a pinch (you need a fresh lemon for the lemon zest, anyway).

• Instead of maple syrup, you could use honey, if desired.

• Keep leftover muffins in an airtight container.

Here's how to make it:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine.
   
2. In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and beat them lightly. Add in the olive oil, honey, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until mixture is just combined. Do not over-mix.
   
3. Fold in the blueberries until just combined.
   
4. Fill greased or lined muffin tins until nearly full with batter.
   
5. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes (ovens vary), or until golden brown.
   
6. While muffins are baking, make the lemon glaze (if using). In a small mixing bowl, add the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Stir to blend.
   
7. Allow muffins to cool before glazing and serving. If glazing, spread the lemon glaze onto the cooled muffins, then serve.
