Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup neutral oil or melted butter

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, blend the Greek yogurt, oil (or melted butter), eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined – remember, don’t overmix!

- Allow the muffins to cool slightly before indulging!
Notes
For a healthier alternative, consider substituting half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or using a sugar alternative like coconut sugar.
