Step 2- Wet ingredients: Add butter and granulated sugar to a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Cream together for about 2 minutes, until smooth and well combined. Add egg. Add vanilla, milk and Greek yogurt and mix until combined.

Cooking techniques
Be sure to cream the butter and sugar thoroughly for a light muffin texture. Mixing dry ingredients separately helps avoid lumps in the batter.
Variations or substitutions
For a richer flavor, try adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter! You can also substitute almond milk for a dairy-free option.
Storage tips
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage; just thaw before enjoying!
