You may have to adjust the amount of milk. ); ¼ cup milk ((Actually, ¼ to ½ cup. The mixture should be quite thick, but if it's dry add a little more milk.)); 1½ cups blueberries; extra sugar (for sprinkling (optional))

Muffins made with Greek yogurt for tang and moisture, studded with blueberries and lightly sweetened with reduced sugar. The yogurt creates a tender crumb while keeping added sugar minimal.
