Light and fluffy plain yogurt muffins made with simple ingredients. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, these muffins have a tender crumb and a subtle tang from the yogurt.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
