Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups plain yogurt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix the plain yogurt, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of each muffin before baking.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
