Since school started, I have been baking lots of muffins; experimenting with chocolate chip, strawberry and blueberry. What’s next? Maybe pumpkin muffins. These are moist and slightly fluffy. They are perfect for a grab-n-go breakfast satisfying you until lunchtime. They are also a nice surprise treat inside a lunchbox, which my daughter loves to find. Enjoy this recipe!

In a large bowl, whisk together flour and sugar. Add butter and mix with a pastry blender until it becomes coarse. Add baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined well.
In a separate bowl, mix yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture has become smooth. Add to flour mixture and mix all the ingredients. Pour batter into the muffin pan.
