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

Others

  • 1 ½ cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the muffins evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together just until combined to avoid overmixing, then fold in the diced apples evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into a muffin tin lined with paper liners or lightly greased, filling each cup about ¾ full to allow room for rising.
  6. 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, indicating they are fully cooked.
  7. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving to prevent sogginess.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and fluffy.
  • Greek yogurt adds moisture and protein; full-fat or low-fat can be used depending on preference.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
