A friend of mine brought me some plums from her plum tree and she told me to bake something yummy so I came up with plum muffins. I’ve never tried to bake with plums before and I’m so glad I did. The plum muffins were very moist and delicious. So don’t judge until you make these plum muffins.
Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda into a large bowl. Add the sugar.
In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs, olive oil and greek yogurt until smooth.
Wash the plums and chop into pieces. You can use more or less plums. If you use more they will be more flavorful.
Slowly stir the yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients in the large bowl, until just combined. Do not over stir this will make the muffins too dense. You want these plum muffins nice and moist. Gently stir in the plums, with just a few turns.
Line the muffin pan with parchment paper and add about 2 tablespoons of plum muffin batter to the pan. Sprinkle the top with coarse sugar if you desire. The recipe makes about 14 muffins.
Bake the plum muffins for 18 – 20 minutes or golden brown at 350 degrees.
Serve warm! Enjoy these plum muffins for your morning breakfast. It will be a good start to your day!
You can also serve the muffins with a little bit of butter. Try these and don’t be scared to try something out of the ordinary. Plum Muffins will be on my summer list always! Hopefully my friend brings me plums every year!
