Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup strawberry yogurt (Greek or regular)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fresh Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped

Optional

  • Turbinado sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Combine Sugars: In a medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar and light brown sugar thoroughly.
  3. Add Butter: Pour the melted and slightly cooled unsalted butter into the sugar mixture and stir until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Add Eggs: Whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully blended before adding the next.
  5. Add Yogurt: Stir in the strawberry yogurt gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  6. Add Vanilla: Pour in the vanilla extract and stir it evenly throughout the wet ingredients.
  7. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined to keep the batter light and fluffy.
  8. Fold in Strawberries: Carefully fold the chopped fresh strawberries into the batter, distributing them evenly without breaking them down.
  9. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat.
  10. Prepare Muffin Tin: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease each cup thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  11. Fill Muffin Cups: Using a spoon or scoop, fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
  12. Optional Sugar Sprinkle: Sprinkle the tops of the muffins lightly with turbinado sugar for added crunch and sparkle.
  13. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a wooden skewer into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  14. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can substitute regular plain yogurt with strawberry yogurt for added fruitiness.
  • The melted butter should be cooled slightly to prevent cooking the eggs when mixed.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
  • Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
