Can these muffins be frozen?

Absolutely. Once the muffins have cooled completely, place them in a single layer in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, just leave them at room temperature for a couple of hours. You can then warm them if you like.

What makes muffins moist?

Moisture in muffins typically comes from the wet ingredients in the batter. In this recipe, the combination of yogurt, milk, eggs, and melted butter all contribute to the wonderfully moist and tender texture. Using the correct amount of each ingredient and not over-mixing are also key factors.

Can this recipe be made into mini muffins?

Yes, you can definitely make mini muffins. Simply portion the batter into a mini muffin tin instead of a regular one. The baking time will be shorter, usually around 10-15 minutes. Start checking for doneness around the 10-minute mark using a toothpick.

What kind of yogurt should I use?

Plain yogurt works best for this recipe. You can use whole milk or low-fat plain yogurt. Avoid flavored or sweetened yogurts, as they will change the taste profile of the savory muffins.

How can I make sure the cheese is distributed evenly?

Gently folding the shredded cheese into the batter as the final step helps distribute it relatively evenly without overworking the batter. Make sure your cheese isn't clumped together before adding it.
