Orange Greek Yogurt Muffins are fluffy and moist and made with Greek-style yogurt. They’re a great way to sneak in some extra nutrients into a breakfast to-go. I love this orange muffins recipe because they’re easy and delicious. It’s a great, protein-packed Greek yogurt recipe to enjoy as a breakfast or snack.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400℉.

Whisk the dry ingredients together, including the orange zest, in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together.

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and gently but quickly stir it all together. A few lumps are okay but don’t overmix.

Scoop batter into a greased muffin tin or into liners in a muffin pan. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until muffins are golden. Cool for 5 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.

I store these with no liners in the freezer in a Ziploc bag. They reheat well in the microwave or just when left out to thaw.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Bring Greek yogurt, eggs, and butter to room temperature before mixing to ensure smooth batter and even moisture distribution throughout the muffins.
Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄
Fold ingredients gently until just combined to avoid developing excess gluten, which creates dense, tough muffins instead of fluffy ones.
Zest Before Juicing 🍊
Zest the orange before juicing to capture maximum aromatic oils and flavor; add zest directly to dry ingredients for even distribution.
Fill Muffin Cups Strategically 🧁
Use an ice cream scoop to fill cups two-thirds full and place a small dollop of Greek yogurt in the center before topping with batter for pockets of creamy texture.
Test with a Toothpick at Right Time ✓
Check muffins for doneness at the minimum baking time (around 18 minutes) using a toothpick—slightly moist crumbs indicate peak moisture while a dry pick means overbaking has occurred.
