Description
These Apple Cinnamon Greek Yogurt Muffins are moist, fluffy, and naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup. Made with whole wheat flour, Greek yogurt, and juicy apple chunks, they’re a healthy and comforting option for breakfast or snacking.
Ingredients
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup milk of choice
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
2 tablespoons coconut oil or melted butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups finely chopped apples (peeled if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, honey or maple syrup, coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Gently fold in the chopped apples.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour for a lighter texture.
Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking for added sweetness.
Use plant-based yogurt and milk for a dairy-free version.
Reduce apples slightly if adding shredded carrots or zucchini.
