Vanilla Yogurt Muffins

Light and fluffy vanilla yogurt muffins that are moist and easy to make, perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk yogurt, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined—do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. 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.
