Mix N Match Muffins

You can have it however you like with these Mix N Match Muffins! This recipe is the perfect classic base for heaping, bakery-style muffins with a crunchy sugar muffin top. Just choose your adventure and go!

  • Yield: 12 heaping muffins 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temp
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup whole fat Greek yogurt, room temp
  • 1/2 cup whole fat buttermilk, room temp
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips OR 2 cups of fruit tossed in 1 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Demerara sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare a muffin tin with baking spray or muffin cups.
  2. Add melted butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously to combine. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking to combine well with each addition.
  3. Add vanilla, buttermilk, and greek yogurt. Continue mixing to combine well.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient mixture, folding until just combined with a few flour streaks left. Batter will be thick and may be a bit lumpy.
  5. Add your chocolate chips or fruit of choice, folding gently until just distributed. Take care not to over-mix.
  6. Spoon batter into a muffin tin. I like to use a medium cookie scoop and fill my cups all the way full to get a domed muffin top.
  7. Sprinkle muffins liberally with Demerara sugar.
  8. Bake muffins for 5 minutes at 425 degrees F, then reduce temp to 375 and bake another 15 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Remove muffins from oven and allow to cool on a wire cooking rack. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make these muffins gluten free by subbing your GF flour or choice for the all purpose flour + 1 tsp xanthan gum + 1 extra tbsp buttermilk.
