Yummy! I didn't have flavored yogurt so I used plain. I also did half wheat flour & half white flour. Otherwise, made exactly as written. I got 18 muffins out of my batter. Thanks for posting =0) I'll making this often.

I just baked these as mini-muffins, and hope to manage to have some left to take to church fellowship hour tomorrow! I also used sour cream (more versatile than yogurt and it's hard to find flavored yogurts that don't have tons of chemicals in them). I baked them at 350 for 15 minutes and they have great browning, texture, and flavor.
