Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup white sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (such as Fage® 2%)

  • 1/2 cup orange juice

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 cups diced pitted plums

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Spray a 12-cup standard muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners.

  2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, and salt.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk yogurt, orange juice, eggs, butter, and vanilla until well combined.

  4. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients; pour yogurt mixture into well and stir just until batter is combined. Gently fold in plums and pecans. Evenly spoon batter into the prepared muffin tin cups.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.

  6. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cook's Note

If your plums are very sweet, you may want to consider reducing the amount of sugar.
