Strawberry Yogurt Muffins are soft, moist, and bursting with fresh strawberries. The addition of yogurt gives these muffins a light and fluffy texture while adding a subtle tang that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the strawberries. These muffins make for a perfect breakfast, snack, or even dessert.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- Optional: 1 tablespoon sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Combine the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, Greek yogurt, milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the strawberries: Gently fold in the diced strawberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill the muffin tin: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle a little extra sugar on top of each muffin for a crunchy, sweet topping.
- Bake the muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be golden and slightly firm to the touch.
- Cool and serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Strawberry Yogurt Muffins are soft, fruity, and perfect for any time of day. They’re an easy and delicious way to use up fresh strawberries and enjoy a sweet treat!
