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), packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional Ingredient
- 1 ½ cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
Instructions
- Preheat the 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 until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients. In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together. Then fold in the peeled and diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing.
- Fill muffin tin. Scoop the batter into a muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full to allow room for rising.
- Bake. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool muffins. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Peeling the apples prevents the muffins from turning too dark and ensures a tender texture.
- Folding the mixture gently helps keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- Use a toothpick test to check doneness to avoid overbaking and drying out the muffins.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
