Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour This foundational ingredient provides the perfect texture for your muffins.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder Essential for helping those muffins rise beautifully.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Provides a slight lift and a wonderfully soft inside.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances all those wonderful flavors.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Adds a subtle kick!

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil Gives muffins depth of flavor and keeps them moist.
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt Adds a lovely creaminess and touch of tang.
  • 1/2 cup milk Keeps everything together.
  • 2 large eggs Bind ingredients and add richness.

Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese The star ingredient that adds salty, creamy goodness.
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped Brings a lovely sweetness.
  • 1/4 cup black olives, sliced Adds briny flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or basil, chopped Optional for a pop of freshness.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.

Mixing Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: olive oil, Greek yogurt, milk, and eggs until smooth.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
  • Gently fold in the feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and black olives.

Baking

  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  • Sprinkle fresh herbs on top, if using.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow muffins to cool slightly in the tin before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For a crispier exterior, bake on the middle rack of the oven. Let cool on a wire rack for best texture. You can also substitute feta for goat cheese or various vegetables based on preference.
