Ingredients
- 2 cups flour (good quality)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp salt (a pinch)
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup light olive oil
- 1 cup unsweetened yogurt (if using Greek yogurt, add 1 Tbsp milk or buttermilk)
- 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.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- If making smaller muffins, baking time will be less. If making a loaf, baking time will be closer to 50 minutes. Check with a cake tester (or thin wooden skewer) before removing from the oven.
