Blueberry Muffins or Chocolate Chip Muffins

I'm expecting a baby in 20 days!  I've decided to stock the freezer and am starting with muffins. A quick breakfast we can pull out the night before.  This basic recipe can be used for many different kinds of muffins-just mix in what you like. I've tried blueberries and chocolate chips. If you don't have wheat flour, use 3 cups white. If you don't have Greek yogurt, use regular or even sour cream.

What you will need: 2 cups flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt, 2 large eggs, 1 stick butter (melted and cooled), 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen) or 1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.  In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and yogurt.  Fold the eggs and yogurt into the dry mixture.  Then fold in butter. Then fold in your mix in (blueberries, chips, banana, etc). Use an ice cream scoop to place batter in muffin tins lined with paper liners or greased. I sprinkled raw sugar on the top as well. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean.
