Best Muffin Recipe, EVER! Mixed Fruit Yogurt Muffins
Description
The Best Muffin Recipe mixes flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar with a wet blend of eggs, light olive oil, and yogurt. Folded in mixed fruit provides natural sweetness and moisture, making these muffins juicy and flavorful. The addition of demerara sugar on top adds a delicate crunch after baking.
Baking at 350°F for 15-18 minutes yields golden, evenly cooked muffins with a soft interior. These muffins are suitable for breakfast or snacks and can accommodate various fruits depending on preference.
Smaller muffins may require less baking time, while baking in a loaf pan extends the baking to about 50 minutes. A cake tester or skewer can check doneness to avoid overbaking which could dry out the muffins.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour (good quality)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp salt (a pinch)
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 egg
- ½ cup olive oil light
- 1 cup yogurt if using Greek yogurt, add 1 Tbsp milk or buttermilk, unsweetened
- 1 ½ cups mixed fruit (your choice, I used plums, chopped peaches, and blueberries)
- 1 tsp demerara sugar (or Swedish pearl sugar to top, if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl.
- Stir in the sugar.
- In a separate bowl or measuring jug, whisk together: eggs, olive oil, and yogurt, until smooth.
- Pour the yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients.
- Slowly stir the yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients in the large bowl, until just combined. DO NOT OVER STIR, it will make the muffins too dense.
- Gently stir in the mixed fruit, with just a few turns, then fill the muffin cups or greased and floured loaf tin. Sprinkle with a little Demerara sugar, Swedish pearl sugar, or raw sugar if desired, for a crunchy top.
- Bake for about 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- Smaller muffins will bake faster, so watch them closely to avoid overbaking.
- If baking in a loaf pan instead of muffin cups, extend baking time to about 50 minutes and test doneness with a skewer.
