Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred)

  • ⅔ cup sugar (or preferred sweetener)

  • ¼ cup oil or melted butter

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins (1–1½ cups total):

  • Blueberries

  • Chocolate chips

  • Chopped nuts

  • Mashed banana

  • Shredded carrots

  • Lemon zest


Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with liners or grease lightly.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  • Mix Wet Ingredients:
    In another bowl, whisk eggs, Greek yogurt, sugar, oil, and vanilla until smooth.

  • Combine:
    Gently stir dry ingredients into wet until just combined—don’t overmix.

  • Add Mix-Ins:
    Fold in your chosen add-ins (e.g., blueberries or chocolate chips).

  • Fill Muffin Tin:
    Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

  • Bake:
    Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

 

  • Cool:
    Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Coat fruit in flour to prevent sinking.

Full-fat yogurt gives the best texture.

For mini muffins, reduce bake time to 10–12 minutes.

Room-temperature ingredients mix more evenly.
