Customizable Muffins

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter (if using salted, reduce salt by 1/4 tsp)
1/2 cup light brown sugar or granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup of any kind of milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a standard 12-count muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper or silicone baking liners.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Set aside.3. Using a handheld mixer or a stand mixer, beat the butter on high speed until smooth, approximately 90 seconds. Add the brown sugar and beat on high until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes. Be sure to scrape down the sides a few times. Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute, then turn up to high speed until the mixture is combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined. Add the milk and continue to mix on low until combined. At this point, fold in any add-ins (fruits, chocolate chips, etc.)

Spoon the batter into each cup or liner. Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 425° F then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Bake for an additional 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Total time in the oven is about 22-23 minutes. Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
