- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup (245 g) plain vanilla yogurt
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk (whole or low-fat)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup (75 g) melted unsalted butter or neutral oil
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk yogurt, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined—do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor and extra protein.
- Stir in up to ½ cup of mix-ins like berries or chocolate chips if desired.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
