Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups mixed fresh or frozen berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for berries)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
In a small bowl, toss the berries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins during baking.
Gently fold the floured berries into the batter, being careful not to burst them.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake 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 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. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
