Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Baking
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup diced plums
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix yogurt, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated. Ensure all wet ingredients are at room temperature for best mixing.
- Gently fold the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.
- Carefully fold in the diced plums, distributing them evenly throughout the batter. The plums should be cut into small, bite-sized pieces for even distribution.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a light ginger glaze before serving for extra flavor and presentation.
Tips
- Prep Your Ingredients: Make sure all your wet ingredients, including yogurt and eggs, are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smoother batter and ensures even baking.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so be gentle!
- Plum Prep: For the best texture, dice the plums into small, bite-sized pieces. This ensures they distribute evenly throughout the batter, giving you a perfect fruity bite in every muffin.
- Oven Check: Keep an eye on your muffins as they bake. Ovens can vary, so start checking for doneness at the 18-minute mark. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
- Cooling Time: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and makes them easier to remove without falling apart.
- Add a Touch of Sweetness: For an extra special touch, dust your muffins with powdered sugar or drizzle a light ginger glaze over the top before serving. It adds a beautiful finish and enhances the flavor!
