Ingredients
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup plain greek yogurt
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 2 tablespoons rose water
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds to top the muffins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a muffin tin with liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar together until fully combined.
- Add in Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, cardamom, and rose water. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, and baking powder together.
- Add half of the flour mixture to the egg wet ingredients. Whisk well.
- Add in the rest of the flour mixture. Mix until combined.
- Using an ice cream scoop, fill the muffin liners. Top with sesame seeds.
- Bake in the oven for 8 minutes at 400℉. Then reduce the heat to 350℉ and bake for another 10-12 minutes until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the muffins comes out clean.
- Once baked, take the muffins out of the oven, let cool for 15 minutes then serve with tea, coffee, or milk.
Notes
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure eggs, yogurt, and other ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth batter and even baking.
- Use Rose Water Sparingly: Make sure you don’t use too much rose water because it can overpower all the other flavors.
- Choose Your Mixing Tool: You can easily make this recipe using a whisk (as seen in the video). Of course, you can also use an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer.
- Proper Mixing: Whisk the wet and dry ingredients separately before combining to avoid overmixing and ensure a tender texture.
- Toasted Sesame Seeds for Extra Flavor: Toasted sesame seeds give a great extra flavor to the muffins, I use Rodelle Toasted Natural Sesame Seeds and love it!
- Preheat the Oven: Start with a properly preheated oven to create the initial rise and golden crust on the muffins.
- DIY Ground Cardamom: If you don’t have ground cardamom, break open cardamom pods and crush the seeds with a pestle and mortar. You can also place the cardamom seeds in the rosewater and set them aside for a couple of hours to infuse the rosewater flavor.
