Ingredients
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
Produce
- 1 ½ cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the muffins perfectly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined and aerated.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, thoroughly whisk the Greek yogurt, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together to create the batter. Then fold in the peeled and diced apples evenly throughout the batter.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into a muffin tin lined with paper cups or lightly greased, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow space 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: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they maintain their texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice contrast with the sweetness.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Do not overmix the batter; fold just until combined to keep muffins tender.
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top before baking for an extra sweet crust.
