Description

These Strawberry Yogurt Muffins are moist, tender, and bursting with fresh strawberry flavor. Made with a simple batter combining all-purpose flour, yogurt, and fresh strawberries, these muffins are perfect for breakfast or a healthy snack. The subtle sweetness from both granulated and brown sugars, along with a hint of vanilla, enhances the fruity taste while a light sprinkle of turbinado sugar adds a pleasant crunch on top. Easy to prepare and bake, they’re a delightful treat for strawberry lovers.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Sugars

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup strawberry yogurt (Greek or regular)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruits & Toppings

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • Optional: Turbinado sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Combine Sugars: In a medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar and light brown sugar thoroughly.
  3. Add Butter: Pour the melted and slightly cooled unsalted butter into the sugar mixture and stir until fully combined.
  4. Add Eggs: Whisk in the eggs, adding one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Add Yogurt: Stir in the strawberry yogurt gently until the mixture is just combined and smooth.
  6. Add Vanilla: Mix in the vanilla extract evenly throughout the wet mixture.
  7. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently and carefully until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender.
  8. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries to distribute them without crushing.
  9. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
  10. Prepare Muffin Tin: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well to prevent sticking.
  11. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the muffin batter into each muffin cup, filling about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  12. Optional Topping: Sprinkle the tops of the muffins lightly with turbinado sugar for added sweetness and crunch.
  13. Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  14. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; overmixing can cause dense muffins.
  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • If strawberry yogurt is not available, plain or vanilla yogurt may be substituted, but it will slightly alter the flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a non-dairy alternative and choose a plant-based yogurt.
  • You can freeze baked muffins for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
  • Ensure the melted butter is cooled before mixing with sugar to prevent cooking the eggs prematurely.
