I have been craving some healthy baked goods! I think winter makes me crave carbs more. Since I am trying to stay dairy-free, I am so glad I discovered that yogurt helps make baked gluten-free products less crumbly. It reminds me of what buttermilk does to baked goods…making them so good. So I whipped up these yummy Blueberry Muffins. YUM.
Blueberry Muffins with Nancy’s Cultured Soy Yogurt
I found that Nancy’s Yogurt carries Organic Cultured Soy Yogurt as well as dairy yogurt products! And the soy yogurt works very well to help bind and give the gluten-free blueberry muffins wonderful moistness and less of a tendency to fall apart! Nancy’s Yogurt is the first U.S. yogurt company to add probiotics to its product since 1970! Having active live non- dairy cultures of probiotics tends to make their soy yogurt version a bit tart and tangy. The yogurt is a bit too tart for my taste to eat as is, but for baking it’s a killer! I used Nancy’s Vanilla Flavored Non-Dairy Yogurt in Bob’s Red Mill’s Gluten Free Muffin Mix and added blueberries to have something yummy for a fast healthy breakfast. I modified the recipe on Bob’s Red Mill Muffin Mix so check out the recipe below. These muffins are gluten-free and dairy-free! And bursting with blueberry goodness.
Nancy’s Organic Cultured Soy is giving away a very fun gift pack! Check out the giveaway here, it ends 1/31/2016.
“Tart and tangy -what real yogurt should taste like” Say’s Nancy’s:
“What are the benefits of a fully-cultured, tangy dairy product? Plain yogurt is generally an acquired taste that has many more health benefits than its over-sweetened milder cousins.
- The longer the cultures are allowed to grow, the greater the number of beneficial microorganisms per gram. There is strength in numbers; therefore enjoy the tang!
- Longer culturing converts the milk sugars (lactose) to lactic acid. Lactic acid lowers the pH of the digestive tract so that alkaline-loving, putrefactive organisms can’t thrive.
- Fully grown cultures stimulate and strengthen the immune system.
- The cultures lower the lactose and shorten the protein chains in Nancy’s dairy products, making Nancy’s Yogurt easier to digest and providing the necessary lactase enzyme for other dairy digestion.
- The tangy, tart flavor of Nancy’s dairy products results in a yogurt with greater acidity, which assists calcium absorption and utilization, strengthening bones and teeth in the process.
- Beneficial L. acidophilus, B. bifidum, L. casei, and L. rhamnosus organisms actually take up residence in the intestine, becoming part of the cell wall, thus not allowing bad organisms a location site there.
- E.coli can’t feed on the lactose nutrient if these probiotic cultures have already utilized it. Acidophilus is the nemesis of E.coli, through antibiotic-like activity.
Nancy’s Yogurt and Dairy Products give you the very best yogurt, multitudes of health benefits, and a delightful tart and tangy flavor!”

Really interesting. I have made Kefir and I never understood how the lactose didn’t bother me once it was cultured. Now I understand (at least better). This sounds delicious.
Well this is soy yogurt though – no lactose or whey.
Thank you for sharing. Blueberry muffins looks and sounds delicious.

These sound delicious, but I’d have to use a different yogurt. My husband is allergic to soy.

You can’t go wrong with blueberry muffins!

The yogurt makes the muffins stick together so much better and not be so flaky .. being gluten free.
these muffins looks so amazing, cant wait to try them
Going to try them out. 🙂
I love using Bob’s Red Mill products. This recipe sounds delicious and good for you at the same time.
It sounds good but does it cost more to buy these products? I know that something in my diet is causing me problems but I’m not sure what it is.
Hi Lisa, The products can be bought at a normal grocery store. I’m not sure what you mean by “cost more”? If you normally by mixes, yogurt or fresh blueberries then it should be in your range. I live in Alaska and everything costs more here than in the lower 48. You’ll have to compare prices.
I don’t remember ever trying a soy yogurt, but would love to. The recipe seems easy enough and always a fan of blueberries.
