Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 120 milliliters Plain yogurt
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Fresh plums, diced
- 100 grams Amaretti biscuits, crushed
- 30 grams Slivered almonds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Fold in the diced plums and crushed amaretti biscuits until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters of the way full.
If desired, sprinkle slivered almonds over the top of each muffin for some added crunch and visual appeal.
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 about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea!
