Ingredients
- 350 g plums 12.5 oz, Note 2
- 275 g flour 2 ¼ cups, Note 3
- 150 g granulated sugar ¾ cup
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch of fine sea salt
- 2 eggs large, at room temperature
- 100 ml canola oil ⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons/ 3.5 fl.oz, at room temperature, Note 4
- 250 ml PLAIN yogurt Greek style 1 cup
- icing sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and line the muffin tray with paper muffin cases.
- Plums: Wash, dry, stone, and cut them into small pieces. Set them aside.
- Dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and sugar using a fork.
- Wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, oil, and yogurt using the fork again. Make sure the wet ingredients are well combined.
- Combine: Pour the egg mixture over the flour-sugar mixture. Mix with the fork until the ingredients are combined; don’t overmix; some streaks of flour in the batter are ok.
- Fold in the plums with a rubber spatula or a spoon with just a few movements. Don’t overmix.
- Bake: Divide the batter between the prepared paper-lined muffin cups. Bake in the middle of the oven for 20-22 minutes. The muffins should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin should come out clean.
- Rest for 5-10 minutes in the tray. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Sprinkle with icing sugar before serving (optional).

Notes
- Always use a digital kitchen scale in baking; it guarantees the best results (Amazon affiliate link).
- I use small Italian plums, but regular plums are okay as well.
- I like using cake flour, but all-purpose flour is ok.
- Ensure you use a neutral-flavored oil like canola.
