Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
- ½ cup maple syrup (or honey)
- ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups finely diced apples (about 2 medium apples, e.g., Honeycrisp, Fuji)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, maple syrup, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Add Apples: Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed.
- Bake: Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let cool in the muffin tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
