Perfect plum muffins are just that: perfect! Light, fluffy, barely sweet and no butter, but a cup of yogurt to keep them healthy.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour good quality, unbleached, unbromated, non GMO
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup light olive oil
  • 1 cup yogurt (if using Greek yogurt, add 1 Tbsp milk or buttermilk)
  • 8 plums small (or 6 medium plums)
  • 1 tsp Demerara or Swedish pearl sugar to top (optional - if desired)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda into a large bowl.
  • Stir in the sugar.
  • In a separate bowl or measuring jug, whisk together: eggs, olive oil, and yogurt, until smooth.
  • Wash the plums and chop into pieces.
  • Pour the yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients.
  • Slowly stir the yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients in the large bowl, until just combined. DO NOT OVER STIR, it will make the muffins too dense.
  • Gently stir in the plums, with just a few turns. (Keep a few aside for putting on top of the muffins, if you like.) Then fill the muffin cups. Sprinkle with a little raw sugar (Demerara) if desired, for a crunchy top.
  • Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

  • PLEASE use a scale for best results.
  • If you are making larger muffins, bake for another 5 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean, as ovens vary.
