Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup kumquats (seeded and finely chopped)
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 2 whole large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cups milk
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, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In another medium bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Stir in the chopped kumquats, Greek yogurt, and milk into the wet ingredients until evenly distributed.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing 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 three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.
