Cinnamon Streusel Yogurt Muffins

Cinnamon Streusel Yogurt Muffins
I often use yogurt in baking – from my Lemon Ginger Cake and Mini Bundts to my Apple Butterscotch Cake. In a similar way to buttermilk, yogurt gives baked goods a lovely moist texture and a really tasty tang. It also makes them better for you.

In this recipe, my Cinnamon Streusel Yogurt Muffins are enhanced by Rachel’s Organic Inspirations Apple and Butterscotch Yogurt. However you can use any yogurt you like to make these muffins your own. The cinnamon oat streusel topping compliments almost every yogurt flavour I can think of and in my experience works well with blueberry, strawberry, rhubarb and peach flavours as well. It’s a fantastic way to use up yogurt that is close to its ‘best before’ date.

Cinnamon Streusel Yogurt Muffins

These lovely Cinnamon Streusel Yogurt Muffins are perfect for breakfast, as an after school snack or tea time treat. The recipe is easy and it’s the work of moments. In fact, Cinnamon Streusel Yogurt Muffins are fun to make with your kids as the recipe is so quick to put together and bakes in only 15 to 20 minutes.

In my opinion, Cinnamon Streusel Yogurt Muffins are best served warm, however my son prefers them at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days in a sealed container and – if you feel like I do – reheat beautifully in the microwave (on high, about 10 seconds per muffin).

    I’ve had a lot of success baking with yogurt although I’ve never tried flavored ones. Butterscotch in apple muffins sounds like a winner. Thank you for sharing, April. My son loves muffins for breakfast on the weekend.

    I looooooooove Cinnamon, and of-course I love the streusel topping 🙂 I’d eat one or two (make it 3) now if I could 🙂
