Ingredients
  • 3 cups (375g) of all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 5 ounces (140g) of natural or Greek yogurt
  • 3.4 ounces (100ml) of whole or low-fat milk
  • 1 cup (200g) of granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) of vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup (80g) of unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions
  1. Start by creaming together sugar, oil, melted butter, and eggs until well combined. Stir in yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract.

  2. Sift together all the dry ingredients and fold them into the wet mixture. Mix until well combined and lump-free, taking care not to overmix.

Note

For extra moist muffins, make sure all your wet ingredients are at room temperature before starting.

Don’t skip the initial high-heat step; it helps create those beautifully domed tops.

If you want to add a bit of crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts along with the chocolate chips.
