Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.33 cups unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
- 2 tablespoons optional: coarse sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold them together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.
Gently fold in the raspberries and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. If desired, sprinkle the tops with a pinch of coarse sugar for a sweet, crunchy topping.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-22 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 before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
