Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

Step 2

Mix flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl.

Step 3

Stir yogurt, milk, applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract together in another bowl. Gradually add flour mixture and stir until well combined.

Step 4

Chop mulberries (if large) and add to batter; stir gently until incorporated. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
