1.  Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray 12 muffin cups with nonstick baking spray (Paper or foil liners may be added before spraying. Spraying the inside of paper liners with baking spray will keep the muffins from sticking to the paper.)

2.  In a medium bowl, whisk together the first five ingredients (yogurt through vanilla extract). Set aside.

3.  In a large bowl, stir together the next five ingredients (flour through baking soda). Add blueberries and stir lightly to coat with flour. Make a well in center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yogurt mixture. Using a large spoon or spatula, stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon the batter evenly into prepared muffin tins, filling each cup 2/3 full.

*To use all natural Truvia for Baking use 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons, and omit adding both the sweetener and the granulated sugar.
