Ingredients

1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (Full-fat or 2% for best texture)
2 cups Fresh Apples, peeled and finely diced (approx. 2 medium apples)
1/2 cup Honey or Maple Syrup
2 Large Eggs (room temperature)
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
2 cups Whole Wheat Flour (or White Whole Wheat for a lighter taste)
1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Salt
Optional: 1 tbsp Applesauce (for extra moisture) or a sprinkle of Cinnamon Sugar on top.

Instructions

Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Whisk Wet: In a large bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Mix Dry: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. (Do not overmix! A few lumps are okay).
Fold: Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed.
Fill: Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool: Let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

To keep them soft for days, store in an airtight container with a paper towel on top to absorb excess moisture. For a “Bakery Style” look, dice some extra apple pieces to press on top before baking.
