- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease the bottoms of 12 medium muffin cups with butter or nonstick spray.
-
Step 2.
In a large bowl, beat the egg with the milk and lemon juice until combined. Add the Greek yogurt and beat until the mixture is smooth and well mixed.
-
Step 3.
Add the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened; the batter should be lumpy. Gently fold in the chopped pecans and the thawed or fresh wild blueberries.
-
Step 4.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the muffins from the pan and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Step 5.
While the muffins cool, make the icing: In a small bowl, gradually add the powdered sugar to the softened butter, mixing until combined. Add the lemon juice a little at a time, stirring until the icing is smooth and creamy. Once the muffins are completely cool, frost each muffin with the lemon icing.
