Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Optional Add-ins
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or berries
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, eggs, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
- Fold in Add-ins: If using, gently fold in chocolate chips or berries into the batter to evenly distribute them without breaking up the fruit.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and improves texture.
Notes
- You can substitute oat flour with whole wheat flour if preferred, but it may change the texture slightly.
- For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based Greek-style yogurt.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
- Adjust the sweetness by using more or less honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
