These stay lovely and berry-packed, but expect a slightly less rich crumb and a marginally less sweet, less crunchy top. Blueberries add moisture so the batter won't dry out much despite less butter.
0.5 cup Butter (softened) → 0.25 cup butter plus 0.25 cup plain Greek yoghurt
Halves the added fat while yoghurt keeps them moist and tender. Slightly less rich, faintly tangy.
1 cup Sugar → 0.75 cup sugar
Cuts a quarter of the sugar. Still sweet with the berries, but noticeably less sweet and a touch less golden.
2 cup Plain flour → 1 cup plain flour plus 1 cup wholemeal flour
Adds fibre and a nuttier flavour. Slightly denser, less airy crumb.
2 tbsp Turbinado sugar (for topping) → 1 tbsp turbinado sugar
Halves the sugar crunch on top — a bit less of that bakery sparkle, saves a little sugar.
