Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 1 cup oat flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line the muffin pan with paper liners if you are using them.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a small bowl. Whisk well and set it aside.
- In another bowl, combine the eggs, butter, olive oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla. Mix well to combine.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, only mixing until it just comes together. Do not over-mix.
- Distribute between the muffin tin. Move to the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to 375 degrees and bake for another 15 minutes.
- Remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then gently remove them and place them on a cooling rack.
Notes
- Avoid Overmixing: Mix the batter until just combined. Overmixing can result in dense or tough muffins.
- Mind the Baking Time: Be vigilant about the baking time; overbaking can lead to dry muffins. Follow the suggested time and perform a toothpick test to check for doneness.
- Use Paper Liners: Opt for paper liners in muffin pans for easy cleanup and to prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan.
- Portion Batter Evenly: Use an ice cream scoop or portion scoop to ensure uniform scooping of the batter into the muffin cups, resulting in evenly sized muffins. Equal weight ensures more even baking results.
- Start with High Heat, Then Reduce: Initiate baking at a higher temperature for a quick rise and then lower the temperature for the remainder of the baking time. This helps achieve the desired bakery-style domed tops while ensuring even baking throughout.
- Chocolate chips: If you want to use 1 cup chocolate chips for the mini chips, it is an easy swap.
