The World’s Best Recipe! Moist and Delicious Muffins That Melt in Your Mouth!

Ingredients:

• • 4 eggs
  • 150 g white sugar

• • 60 ml cold milk
  • 60 ml sunflower oil
  • 100 g cold melted butter

• • 125 g unsweetened plain yogurt
  • 8 g vanilla sugar
  • 300 g all-purpose flour

• • Pinch of salt
  • 16 g baking powder
  • Zest of one lemon or orange

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients:

• • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and white sugar until light and creamy.
  • Add the cold milk, sunflower oil, and cold melted butter to the bowl. Mix well to combine.

• Stir in the unsweetened plain yogurt and vanilla sugar, ensuring everything is thoroughly mixed.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients:

• • In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  • Add the lemon or orange zest to the flour mixture, giving it a quick stir to distribute the zest evenly.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined—be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

5. Fill and Bake:

• • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. This allows room for the muffins to rise without overflowing.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed.

6. Cool and Serve:

• Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature. They are delicious on their own or with a pat of butter or a dollop of jam.

Cooking Tips:

• • Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best texture, ensure that your eggs, milk, and melted butter are at room temperature before mixing.

• • Do Not Overmix: Overmixing can lead to dense muffins. Mix the batter until just combined for a lighter texture.
  • Customize Flavors: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit, to the batter before baking.
  • Check for Doneness: Oven temperatures can vary, so check the muffins a few minutes before the suggested baking time to ensure they don’t overbake.

Nutritional Benefits:

These muffins, while indulgent, offer some nutritional benefits. Eggs provide a good source of protein, and yogurt adds calcium and probiotics. The citrus zest adds a burst of vitamin C, enhancing the flavor and contributing to a healthier treat. Although they are a bit sweet, they can be enjoyed as an occasional treat that provides satisfaction and comfort.
