Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
1 ½ cups apples, peeled and diced (about 2 medium apples)
1 cup Greek yogurt (240g)
¾ cup brown sugar (150g), packed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper muffin liners.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ of the way full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a nutty version, add ½ cup of chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds to the batter.
For a vegan option, replace the eggs with flax eggs and use a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
If you’re gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
To make apple-cinnamon streusel muffins, top with a mixture of oats, butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar before baking.
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerated for up to a week. They also freeze well for up to 3 months.
