Equipment

Mini muffin pan with liners
Mixing bowls
Measuring spoons
Scale/measuring cups
Whisk
Spatula
Small cookie scoop (1-1½ tablespoon capacity) - optional

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large egg room temperature
⅓ cup (67 g) granulated sugar
3 tablespoons (63 g) honey
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup (75 g) unsalted butter measured, melted, & cooled
⅓ cup (80 g) Lifeway lowfat plain kefir room temperature

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and fill a 24-well mini muffin pan with liners.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon salt
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, honey, vanilla extract, and cooled melted butter really well.
1 large egg, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons honey, ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract, ⅓ cup unsalted butter
Alternately mix the dry ingredients and kefir into the wet ingredients.
Stir gently with a spatula until all of the ingredients are mixed together well (do not over-mix).
⅓ cup Lifeway lowfat plain kefir
Evenly divide the batter across the mini muffin liners, filling each about three-quarters full.
I use a small cookie scoop (1-1½ tablespoon capacity) to fill them evenly & cleanly!
Bake on the middle rack until the tops spring back up with a gentle poke and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (about 10-15 minutes).
Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing them.

Notes

Regular Muffins: Fill a regular muffin pan and bake at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes.

Storage: Store cooled mini muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the freezer for 1 month.

Kefir: This recipe is sponsored by Lifeway Foods. All opinions are my own and I genuinely love their kefir and mission! If you're not able to get your hands on Lifeway kefir, it can be substituted with buttermilk.
