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

Other Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when the batter is prepared.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Add Apples: Fold in the peeled and diced apples carefully so they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin: Scoop the batter into a muffin tin lined with paper cups or greased, filling each cup about ¾ full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully baked.
  8. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Choose crisp, sweet apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and light.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and check the baking powder ingredients for gluten.
  • Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top before baking enhances the flavor and adds a slight crunch.
