I opened my fridge to find it nearly empty — one egg, condiments, and an abundance of plain yogurt. How did it come to this? Regardless, I needed to concoct a muffin of the month, and I pulled the yogurt from the fridge. Then, I ran down to the market and grabbed a kiwi, thinking, “Hrm, never baked with this before!” The result? These delightfully sweet, crumbly, kiwi and yogurt muffins!
‘Ki-wi’ hope you love them!

ummm yum!! this is totally on my weekend to-do list! a little while ago i experimented and made fourth of july colored cupcakes! i owe betty crocker for the base, but i was able to get the colors just right!
These look amazing! (: Just one question..Plain Yogurt or Vanilla Yogurt?!
Stephanie, I used plain and depended on the vanilla extract for flavor and sweetness. However, you can use any flavor you wish, just remember to leave out the extract if you don’t want the muffins too sweet.
My husband and I just made a batch of mini fruit pizzas today (they’re easy: make some sugar cookies, slather them with cream cheese mixed with sugar and almond extract, top with the fruit of your choice).
Omg! What a good idea!
I’m going to try these with coconut milk yogurt!
Oh and ever since I found your peach surprise muffin recipe.. I havent stopped baking~
Last night I made vegan pumpkin muffins with walnuts and figs.
Krystle, that’s so sweet. I’m happy to hear it. I’d love to try your vegan pumpkin muffins recipe!

I swapped the soy milk for Coconut milk and unsweetened vanilla almond milk (half/half)
And I also use half whole red wheat and half whole grain pastry flour. When I use all whole wheat the muffins tend to be too tough :/
And I added figs, pecans, walnuts and some raspberries in a few as a surprise.
I just pulled these kiwi muffins out of the oven and OH THEY ARE GOOD. ive been really critical about my moofins(everyone else likes them but i always have something to nit-pick about them) BUT OH THESE ARE GOOD MUFFINS.
Thank you so much for the inspiration!
I just baked these and WOW they’re yummy!!!! I swapped the kiwi for blueberries because my family doesn’t like them but the yogurty muffin is sooo good. :) Thanks for the recipe! I’m definitely going to try more of your muffin recipes.
