How to Make Banana Yogurt Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 large egg, ½ cup milk (any kind), and ¼ cup vegetable oil.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork and stir them into the batter.
  6. Fill the muffin cups about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
