Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg Beaten
- 3 medium clementines zested and fruit inside blended
- 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a big bowl, start by mixing together your flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt with a spatula. Set to the side.
- In a medium sized bowl melt your butter. Then add your vanilla extract, sugar, greek yogurt and beaten egg. Cream together your ingredients with a whisk, adding air to your batter as you mix.
- Zest the outside of three clementines and add the zest to your wet ingredients. Mix!
- Remove the clementine segments from the skin. (The same clementines you zested works!) Take care to remove the white strings in the middle and any stuck to the outside. Unlike other citrus, darling clementines are pretty easy to peel.
- Add the blended clementines to the wet ingredients and mix. Batter will be thick.
- Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients and blend well with a spatula.
- Fill muffins all the way to the top with batter, dividing it evenly among the muffins.
- Bake muffins in the oven for 10-13 minutes, or until when pricking with a toothpick no batter clings to the toothpick.
