Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (for topping)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter until smooth. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, yogurt, applesauce, and milk. Whisk until glossy.
  4. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Drizzle in 1/4 cup melted butter and stir to form crumbs. Sprinkle generously over muffins.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to ensure tender muffins. Ensure eggs and yogurt are at room temperature for best results. For a stronger cinnamon flavor, add an extra 1/2 tsp to the batter. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
