Ingredients
canola oil
1/3 cup (measured)
honey
1/2 cup (measured)
large eggs
2 (beaten)
plain yogurt
1 1/4 cups (measured)
finely grated orange zest
1 teaspoon (zested)
whole wheat flour
1 cup (sifted)
all-purpose flour
1 cup (sifted)
baking powder

baking soda
1 teaspoon (measured)
ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon (measured)

1 1/2 cups (rinsed and drained)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and either grease or line a 36-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners. If you prefer, you can use a regular 12-cup muffin tin for larger muffins, adjusting the baking time accordingly.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the canola oil, honey, beaten eggs, plain yogurt, and finely grated orange zest until well blended and smooth.
3
In another bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients until well mixed.
4
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it's okay if there are a few small lumps.
5
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to smash them.
6
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the muffins spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
