YOGURTY MUFFUINS



The yogurt in this recipe makes the muffins soft and moist, and it also gives them a good amount of protein, calcium, and probiotics. Then, you can choose your own flavor adventure each time you make a batch by adding blueberries, strawberries, cherries, chocolate chips, or carrots and raisins.

TIP: When it comes to this recipe, I find that using whole milk yogurt gives it the perfect amount of moisture. If at all possible, I would advise you to avoid using nonfat products.

Utensils needed


Ingredients :

  1. 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

  2. 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)

  3. 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour

  4. 1 cup whole milk or plain Greek yogurt

  5. 1 teaspoon baking powder

  6. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  7. 1/3 cup maple syrup

  8. 2 eggs (lightly beaten)

  9. 1/4 teaspoon salt

  10. 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract


Optional add-ins (choose one)


✔️1 cup chocolate chips

✔️1 cup shredded carrots,

✔️2 cups finely diced strawberries (add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest if desired)

✔️2 cups blueberries (add 1 teaspoon cinnamon if desired)

✔️2 cups finely diced cherries




Ingredients :

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup standard muffin pan with nonstick spray.

  • Mix the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.

  • The yogurt, maple syrup, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract should be mixed together in a separate bowl.

  • Combine the yogurt mixture and the flour mixture by gently stirring them together.

  • Add your preferred add-in. Stir gently to combine.

  • Spread approximately one-fourth of a cup of the batter into each of the six cups of the muffin pan.

  • Bake for 16–18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out cleanly. Remove from oven, then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool fully.



Important Tips:


  • Your child can nibble on them whole or cut them into tiny pieces so they can strengthen their pincher grip. (Cut food into smaller pieces as necessary).

  • I like using whole milk Greek yogurt in this recipe.

  • If you like, you can top it with butter, nut butter, or jam.

  • Gluten-free: Substitute cup-for-cup gluten-free flour in place of the wheat flours.

  • Egg-free: Omit the eggs. Reduce the yogurt to 34 cups. Add 14 cups of milk. Proceed with the recipe.

  • Store airtight for up to 3 days at room temperature after cooling. Store the muffins airtight in the fridge for 5 days. The muffins can be refrigerated for 3 months in a freezer bag with as little air as possible. Warm to serve.

Conclusion:


These mini blender muffins are perfect for little hands. They are easy to make and perfect as a handheld breakfast.

Baking these kinds of muffins together is a great way to get youngsters in the kitchen. Even though the recipe is simple, there is plenty of work for the youngest of helpers. My son Frank is 18 months old, and he enjoys peeling and breaking the bananas, as well as tipping them into the blender and turning on the mixer. He also enjoys making banana smoothies. I hope you enjoyed this article, and I am pretty sure your little one will love these recipes .
