Ingredients
Scale
Muffin Batter
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crumb Topping
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Muffin Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed to maintain a light texture.
- Prepare the Crumb Topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and mix until the mixture becomes crumbly and evenly coated.
- Assemble the Muffins: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Generously sprinkle the crumb topping over each muffin to create a sweet, crunchy layer.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender and light.
- The Greek yogurt adds moisture and a slight tang, but you can substitute with sour cream if preferred.
- The crumb topping can be doubled for extra crunch.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- For a nutty twist, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the crumb topping.
