Let's Bake Together!

Making cupcakes from scratch is a rewarding experience, and when you add fruit and yogurt as a filling, you take them to the next level! These cupcakes are perfect for anyone who enjoys a little extra sweetness without the heaviness of frosting. So let's get started by grabbing our ingredients!

Ingredients You'll Need

Here's what you'll need to make the base of your cupcakes:

• 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon of baking powder

• ½ teaspoon of baking soda

• 1 pinch of salt

• ½ cup of unsalted butter (softened)

• ¾ cup of sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

• ½ cup of milk

For the filling:

• 1 cup of plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works great!)

• ½ cup of mixed berries (like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)

• 1 tablespoon of honey (optional for added sweetness)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Cupcake Batter

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).Put cupcake liners inside a muffin tin and put it aside. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another dish, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add each egg, one at a time, and beat until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and whisk. Until the batter is smooth and thoroughly mixed, gradually add the dry components to the wet ones, switching with the milk.

2. Bake the Cupcakes

Fill the cupcake liners about two-thirds of the way to the top with the batter using a spoon. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean after 18 to 20 minutes of baking. When the cupcakes are finished, allow them to cool fully before proceeding to the exciting step of stuffing them with fruit and yogurt!

3. Create the Fruity Yogurt Filling

While your cupcakes are cooling, mix the yogurt with the honey (if using) in a small bowl. Gently fold in the fresh mixed berries to create a delicious and colorful filling. Make sure the yogurt is thick enough to hold its shape but still creamy and smooth.

4. Fill Your Cupcakes

Once the cupcakes are cool, use a small tool or cupcake corer to create a little hole in the center of each one. Fill the center with a generous spoonful of the yogurt and fruit mixture, making sure it's well-packed. Top each cupcake with a few extra berries or a drizzle of honey for that extra touch of sweetness.
