Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
  • 1 large egg

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step ensures the oven reaches the ideal temperature for even baking of the mini muffins.
  2. Prepare the Muffin Pan: Line a mini muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the cups. This prevents the muffins from sticking and makes removal easier.
  3. Mix Yogurt and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is evenly incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Add the Egg: Crack the egg into the yogurt mixture. Beat gently until all ingredients are well combined, creating a uniform batter base.
  5. Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet mixture. Stir gently just until the flour disappears and the batter is combined; avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  6. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the chopped fresh strawberries into the batter to evenly distribute the fruit without breaking it down.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising during baking.
  8. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • You can use plain or flavored Greek yogurt according to your preference; flavored yogurt will add extra sweetness and flavor.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter after adding flour to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  • Fresh strawberries work best, but you can substitute with frozen strawberries if fresh are unavailable; just thaw and drain excess moisture first.
  • If you prefer, sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking for a slightly crunchy topping.
  • These mini muffins freeze well; store them in an airtight container for up to 1 month and thaw before eating.
