Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (240g) Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1 ½ cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the muffins.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and combined, ensuring the sugar dissolves well.
- Incorporate Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together just until combined to avoid overmixing, then fold in the diced apples evenly.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Scoop the batter into a prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full to allow room for rising.
- Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating they are fully baked.
- Cool Muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For extra moisture, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
- Feel free to add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for added texture.
- Ensure apples are peeled and diced uniformly for even baking.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender and light.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
