Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup rolled oats

¾ cup brown sugar, firmly packed

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ cup Greek yogurt (either vanilla or plain)

¼ cup milk (any variety)

⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mixed fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and diced peaches)

¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

¼ cup crushed nuts (like walnuts or pecans, optional)

2 tablespoons coarse sugar for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing each cup with cooking spray or oil.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until thoroughly mixed and no clumps remain.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, milk, vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil), large eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

        Merge Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Take care not to overmix; it’s perfectly fine if a few lumps stay in the batter.

          Incorporate Fruits and Extras: Carefully add in the mixed fresh fruit, mini chocolate chips (if desired), and crushed nuts (if desired). Fold them into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

            Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a cookie scoop or a measuring cup, evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups in the prepared tin. Fill each cup about two-thirds full to allow for rising.

              Add Topping: If you like a sweet, crunchy topping, sprinkle the coarse sugar generously over the top of each muffin before baking.

                Bake: Place the muffin tin in your preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached.

                  Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delightful muffins warm or at room temperature!
