Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Muffins Recipe

For snacks I like to try some things out, this time I wanted to make little yogurt-based muffins. For flavor I chose apple and cinnamon, one of my favorite flavor combinations (like in this apple cinnamon loaf cake) that I love to bake with during the colder months.

Because just using yogurt as a base makes your batter very thick, I also used semi-skimmed milk. That made the batter just a little nicer to work with.

TIP: I love baking with yogurt, if you do too, you might like this easy yogurt cake!

Maple Syrup Muffins

I decided I didn’t want to use granulated sugar for these muffins, so I decided to reach for the bottle of maple syrup. To be clear, that’s still sugar and not necessarily a “healthy” choice. Regardless, these muffins are more responsible than I normally make them, though. Especially if you leave out the cinnamon sugar on top 😉 .

No maple syrup in stock? You can also use honey or just granulated sugar. You can also vary in the amount. I used very little syrup, feel free to add more if you want sweeter muffins.

Storing Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Muffins

You can keep these delicious muffins outside of the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Can I freeze apple cinnamon muffins?

Yes these muffins also freeze very well. In that case you can store them – properly wrapped in a freezer bag or in a freezer-safe container – for up to three months.

Use silicone cupcake liners

These silicone cupcake liners make it a lot easier to release your muffins. I always use them when I make muffins as a snack.

Use a cupcake pan

Even though silicone cups are sturdier than the paper variety, I still like using a cupcake baking pan. It’s easier to move your cupcakes around and they hold their shape well.

Pack by piece

I always pack snacks by the piece and then store them in the freezer. That way I always have a supply of delicious homemade snacks.
