- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional:
- 1 1/2 cups peeled and finely chopped apples (such as Honeycrisp)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- Maple Drizzle:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1–2 teaspoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare muffin tin: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Combine dry and wet ingredients: Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined, then gently fold in the chopped apples and walnuts if using.
- Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and drizzle: Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. For the drizzle, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and enough milk to reach a drizzle-able consistency. Drizzle over cooled muffins before serving.
Notes
- These muffins freeze well and make a great breakfast or snack.
- Use maple extract in the glaze for a stronger maple flavor.
