Description
These Bakery Style Red Velvet Muffins are incredibly moist, have delicious cocoa flavors and a wonderful tang from a combination of buttermilk and yogurt. These muffins are made in one bowl and take less than a half hour to make. A crunchy granulated sugar crust adds the finishing touch to these muffins.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon red gel food dye
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375F. Line a 12-count muffin with muffin liners. Alternatively, you can make your own liners. See note below.
2. In your measuring cup, measure the buttermilk, then add the red gel food dye. Whisk to combine. In a large bowl add melted butter, sugars, eggs, yogurt and buttermilk. Whisk to combine, then add remaining ingredients. Stir just until batter is combined.
3. Scoop batter into prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle tops of muffins with coarse sugar (alternatively, you can use granulated sugar).
4. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Sprinkle tops of muffins with additional coarse sugar (or granulated sugar) if desired.
Notes
If you’d like to make your own liners, cut 12 pieces of parchment paper that are 4×4 inches. Place the parchment square on the bottom of a glass and press the sides of the parchment paper along the sides of the glass to create the shape of the liner. Place in the muffin tin. It’s okay if they don’t stay down. The muffin batter will hold them down when added.
