Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes
Total: 35 minutes
Servings: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour use white whole wheat flour for a milder flavor
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder I recommend aluminum free
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon caraway seed
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 cup nonfat milk plus 1 tablespoon, at room temperature
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled to room temperature
- ¼ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt at room temperature
- ¾ cup dried currants
- Optional: 2 tablespoons sparkling sugar
Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and caraway seed. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, butter, and Greek yogurt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour the wet ingredients into it. Stir just until combined. Fold in currants.
- Divide the batter among the muffin cups and sprinkle the tops with sparkling sugar, if using. Bake the muffins for 13 to 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Place the pan on a wire rack and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove the muffins to a rack to continue cooling. Enjoy warm, topped with butter, jam, a slice of cheese, or on their own.
