Bake moist, flavorful muffins using Greek yogurt for added protein and texture. This recipe combines sweet apples and warm cinnamon for a satisfying breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or whole milk recommended)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely diced apple (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, Greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable.
  5. Fold in the diced apple and any optional nuts.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • Using Greek yogurt keeps these muffins very moist compared to recipes using only milk or buttermilk.
  • If you prefer a sweeter topping, sprinkle a mixture of 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon over the batter before baking.
