Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups milk
- 0.25 cups plain yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons crystallized ginger, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, milk, plain yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a spatula to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Fold in the chopped crystallized ginger to evenly distribute it throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your quick and easy ginger muffins!
