Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup kumquats (seeded and finely chopped)
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 2 whole large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cups milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 3

In another medium bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped kumquats, Greek yogurt, and milk into the wet ingredients until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.
