Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (350°F). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream the butter until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the egg until well incorporated.
  4. Add the baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Stir to combine.
  5. Incorporate the vanilla yogurt and mix again until smooth.
  6. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and cinnamon using a rubber spatula. Mix only until the dry ingredients are just barely combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin cups. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly pressed.
  8. While the muffins are still hot, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

💡 Tips

  • For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the dry ingredients.
  • If you don't have mini muffin pans, you can use a regular muffin pan and adjust baking time accordingly (likely a few minutes longer).
