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

Add-ins

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature while you prepare the batter.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Blend wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together, taking care not to overmix, then fold in the diced apples evenly.
  5. Fill muffin tin: Spoon the batter into a muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool down: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack to cool completely, which helps keep their texture perfect.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweetness and acidity.
  • To make these muffins vegan, replace Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and eggs with flaxseed meal or chia seeds mixed with water.
  • Check muffins at 18 minutes to avoid overbaking, as oven temperatures can vary.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
