Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with the yogurt mixture. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing gently after each addition. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
