Ingredients
- 160 g all-purpose flour + 1 tablespoon for dusting cut strawberries/fruit
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 60 ml vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 60 g granulated sugar
- 65 ml buttermilk
- 60 ml thick Greek yogurt full-fat
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ C diced strawberries dusted in 1 tablespoon flour
- 6 tablespoon jam or fruit filling of your choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F/218°C.
- Prepare a muffin tin tray with muffin liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, egg, granulated sugar, buttermilk, yogurt and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and use a spatula to fold the mixture together.
- When there are still some white lumps of flour left, add in the flour-dusted cut strawberries and continue to fold until just incorporated.
- Be careful not to overmix.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop batter into the muffin wells about ⅓rd of the way up.
- Add a tablespoon of jam to the centre of the muffin batter.
- Top off the muffin tin with the remainder of the batter.
- Give the muffin tray a few taps to release any trapped air bubbles.
- Bake at 425°F/218°C for 5 minutes, and then reduce to 375°F/191°C to bake for another 12-15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with the slightest crumbs clinging onto it.
- Let cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to completely cool on a wire rack.
