Easy plum muffins

With plums still in season and a recent spate of making ice cream and plum jam with them, I was inspired to make this super easy plum muffin recipe. I love cinnamon, lemon and brown sugar with plums which is a classic combination that works like perfection with this iconic plum torte. These plum muffins are made with full-fat Greek-style yoghurt and effortlessly mixed together by hand in one bowl. Top them with a sprinkle of brown sugar to create a lovely crunch top.

You could use other fruit of your choice n this recipe or a combination of fruit like strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. Just swap out the brown sugar for white if you use those.

Ingredients:

• 6 – 8 plums (about 350gms)
• 2 Tbsp Demerara sugar (or other darker brown sugar)
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 275gms (2 cups) cake flour or all-purpose
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp bicarb / baking soda
• 100gs brown sugar (1/2 cup)
• 2 large free-range eggs
• ½ cup sunflower oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 250ml (1 cup) full-fat Greek-style yoghurt
• zest of half a lemon
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• Additional brown sugar for sprinkling (optional)
