Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour (or half whole wheat flour)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- ¼ cup coconut oil or olive oil
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup finely chopped apples (peeled if desired)
- Optional: 2 tbsp brown sugar or coconut sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a large bowl, mix Greek yogurt, oil, honey, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Fold in chopped apples and divide the batter evenly among muffin cups.
- Sprinkle tops with a little brown or coconut sugar for a sweet crust (optional).
- Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
- To keep muffins lighter, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
- For dairy-free option, use a dairy-free yogurt and oil such as almond yogurt and olive oil; results may vary.
- For a crisper top, sprinkle with 2 tbsp extra brown sugar before baking.
