Ingredients
Ingredients
all-purpose flour
1 2/3 cups (Measured and sifted if desired)
sugar
1/2 cup (Granulated)
baking powder
2 teaspoons (Fresh)
baking soda
1/4 teaspoon (Fresh)
salt
1/4 teaspoon (Table salt)
butter
1/2 cup (Melted)
flavored yogurt

half-and-half cream
2 tablespoons (Regular)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, flavored yogurt, slightly beaten egg, half-and-half cream, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all the wet ingredients are fully incorporated.
3
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
4
Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, stirring just until everything is moistened. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
5
Evenly spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 19 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7
Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
