Yogurt Muffins

I love adding herbs to baked goods. The smell, the taste, it’s like natural, healthy perfume. They take any baked good to the next level.

The yogurt in this recipe adds a nice tanginess and helps provide moisture.

Unlike most muffin recipes, these are gluten-free. Because we have the absence of gluten, applying the muffin method does not apply here.

If you are unsure what the muffin method is, it’s when the wet ingredients are added to the dry ingredients and gently folding the two together to create a gently mixed lumpy batter.

Because we will NOT be using the muffin method, this recipe can be made all in one bowl and mixed to death—there is no gluten, so it doesn’t make a difference.

This recipe makes eight muffins. Fill any empty pockets of the cupcake tray with water.

I like to put the batter in cute muffin wrappers. It just adds a nice touch and an eating experience. You will also notice that once they have baked and cooled, they will easily release from the wrappers.
