Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour good quality, unbleached, unbromated, non GMO
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup light olive oil
- 1 cup yogurt (if using Greek yogurt, add 1 Tbsp milk or buttermilk)
- 8 plums small (or 6 medium plums)
- 1 tsp Demerara or Swedish pearl sugar to top (optional - if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda into a large bowl.
- Stir in the sugar.
- In a separate bowl or measuring jug, whisk together: eggs, olive oil, and yogurt, until smooth.
- Wash the plums and chop into pieces.
- 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 plums, with just a few turns. (Keep a few aside for putting on top of the muffins, if you like.) Then fill the muffin cups. Sprinkle with a little raw sugar (Demerara) if desired, for a crunchy top.
- Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes
- PLEASE use a scale for best results.
- If you are making larger muffins, bake for another 5 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean, as ovens vary.
