Description

Fresh mulberries add tart, fruity notes to these simple muffins that are made with yogurt and applesauce instead of butter and eggs.

Ingredients

cooking spray
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar, or more to taste
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch sea salt
3/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
6 tablespoons milk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons applesauce
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh mulberries

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
2 Mix flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl.
3 Stir yogurt, milk, applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract together in another bowl. Gradually add flour mixture and stir until well combined.
4 Chop mulberries (if large) and add to batter; stir gently until incorporated. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
