Method

  1. Heat the oven to 170°C/150°C fan/gas 3½. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the yogurt, oil and sugar until smooth. One at a time, whisk in the eggs, then stir in the rest of the ingredients with a pinch of salt until just combined – don’t overmix.
  2. Divide the mix among the cases (it will fill them generously), then push the reserved blueberries into the top of each muffin. Bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer pushed into the centre comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
