Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240g) Greek yogurt
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it lightly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to combine evenly.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the Greek yogurt, brown sugar, and vanilla extract; mix well until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Incorporate Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Add Apples: Fold in the diced apples evenly throughout the batter, ensuring they are well distributed.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake the Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples for a nice balance of tartness and sweetness.
  • For extra moisture, you can add ¼ cup of melted butter or oil if desired.
  • These muffins freeze well; store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
  • To make it gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend.
