Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 tbsp baking powder ensure it's fresh
  • 1 tsp baking soda ensure it's fresh
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar or substitute with honey for a healthier option

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt plain, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup milk any type, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract pure for best flavor

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the Muffin Tin

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the muffins bake evenly.
  • Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners to prevent sticking.

Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined. This helps to evenly distribute the leavening agents.

Mix Wet Ingredients

  • In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. This mixture adds moisture and richness to the muffins.

Combine Ingredients

  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together using a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • If using, gently fold in the blueberries or chocolate chips at this stage.

Bake the Muffins

  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. This allows room for the muffins to rise.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures that the muffins are fully cooked.

Cool and Serve

  • Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. This helps them set and makes them easier to remove.
  • Enjoy warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

These muffins are versatile; feel free to substitute the Greek yogurt with any flavored yogurt for a different taste. You can also add nuts or spices like cinnamon for added flavor.
