Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 1/2 cup diced stone fruit (peaches, plums, etc.)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the yogurt, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until the batter is combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
- Carefully fold in the diced stone fruit, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Optional: Sprinkle a little extra sugar on top of each muffin for a crisp, sweet top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients: This helps create a smoother, more consistent batter.
- Don't overmix! Stir just until ingredients are combined to keep muffins tender.
- Choose ripe, firm stone fruits for the best flavor and texture.
- For extra moisture, use full-fat yogurt.
- Check muffins a few minutes early - oven temperatures can vary.
- Let muffins cool slightly in the tin to help them set properly.
- For a gourmet touch, experiment with different stone fruits like peaches, plums, or nectarines.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
