Ingredients
  

For 12 muffins:

  • 150 grams unsalted butter
  • 1 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 190 grams granulated sugar
  • 50 grams soft brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 300 grams all-purpose flour plus 1 Tbsp
  • 110 grams Of your favorite granola divided to 75 grams and 35 grams
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 160 grams strained Greek Yogurt
  • 250 grams mixed berries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 175° C, fan. Line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Cream butter, lemon zest and sugars until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, then eggs one at a time, beating at least 30 seconds after each addition.
  • In another bowl sift flour with baking powder, soda and salt. Add about 1/3 of the flour mixture to the mixer bowl. Beat on low speed to combine. Add half the yogurt and beat to combine. Continue with 1/3 of the flour and the remaining yogurt. Finish with the remaining flour. Mix until you have a smooth batter. Don’t over-beat. Add 75 grams of the granola and mix with a spatula.
  • Put berries in a bowl. Cut larger berries in half or in quarters. Mix gently with 1 Tbs flour.
  • Add berries to the cake batter. Mix gently with a spatula. Don’t overwork the mixture. You don’t want the berries to colour the batter too much. A little bit it’s ok. Use an ice cream scoop to transfer the cake batter into the 12-hole muffin pan. Fill the muffin liners to the top, doming slightly. Sprinkle with the remaining granola.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check with a cake tester for doneness. Cool on wire racks.
