Take note
As with any recipe, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure your muffins turn out perfectly. Pay attention to the baking time and temperature, as ovens can vary. Be sure to let the muffins cool before enjoying, as they can be quite hot straight from the oven.

1

Preheat the oven

To begin, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that it's nice and toasty for your muffins.

2

Prepare the dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. These dry ingredients will provide the base for your delicious muffins.

3

Combine the wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs and then add 1 cup of plain yogurt, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

4

Mix it all together

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins. A few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine!

5

Add a sunny touch

Fold in 1/2 cup of yellow sunflower seeds to add a delightful crunch and a burst of sunny flavor to your muffins. These seeds are not only tasty but also provide a healthy dose of nutrients.

6

Fill the muffin cups

Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with butter. Spoon the batter into the cups, filling each one about two-thirds full. This will give your muffins plenty of room to rise and develop a lovely golden top.

7

Bake to golden perfection

Pop the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The heavenly aroma filling your kitchen is the sign that your muffins are almost ready!

8

Let them cool and enjoy

Once fully baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Grab a muffin, find a cozy spot, and relish your sunny, seed-filled creation!
