Muffins with strawberries and yogurt

Here's a delicious recipe for Strawberry Yogurt Muffins:

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped (or use frozen strawberries, thawed and drained)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients:

    • In another bowl, mix the yogurt, milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Fold in Strawberries:

    • Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin:

    • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake:

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool:

    • Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These muffins are light, fluffy, and bursting with strawberry flavor. Enjoy them as a sweet breakfast treat or a delicious snack!
