These yogurt buns are probably the simplest muffin-y recipe I’ve ever created.
I’ve been making them so typically and switching up the add-ins (see recipe be aware), customizing with what fruits I’ve readily available, or simply what I’m within the temper to bake with. Ahem, chocolate. 😍
Together with my (now standard) Jam Jam Muffins, these are the 2 recipes I appear to go to week after week.
It goes one thing like this…
Have overripe bananas?
Sure: Make Jam Jam Muffins
No: Make Yogurt Buns
I’m certain I’ll slide out of this baking routine finally, however proper now it’s working properly. Ain’t damaged, don’t repair it!
The very good factor about these vegan yogurt buns is that they’re extremely straightforward to make. Even simpler than the Jam Jams, solely since you don’t have to mash the bananas!
It’s just about dump & combine.
Yep, that’s how I wish to roll with my baking today. 😬 Fancy, huh?
However isn’t that what most of us need with dwelling baking and cooking? Simple recipes we are able to flip to again and again which might be dependable, nutritious, and but nonetheless scrumptious?
I believe so.

The one catch with these Yogurt Buns is the apparent: you want vegan yogurt. There are various manufacturers accessible now, however boy do they fluctuate!
Some vegan yogurts are fairly thick, others a little bit runny. Some, simply downright nasty. I’m not naming names, however a little bit tip: keep away from “Oatgurts”. That’s all. Most are horrible, I don’t know the way they make it to market. Just one I’ve tried (Oatly) is suitable (not fabulous, however okay).
Simple Yogurt Buns: Which vegan yogurt model?
So what vegan yogurt manufacturers do I exploit for these buns? And different recipes?
Properly, in Canada, I’d say our yogurt choices are extra restricted. And, generally I believe we’re nonetheless ready for an excellent vegan yogurt to hit the market. However, I usually use Silk almond yogurts, or if I can get them within the US, Silk soy yogurts.
Get the yogurt, and this recipe is a cinch! It’s simply a mixture of oats, oat flour, almond meal (provides a substantial amount of moisture and tenderness) together with the yogurt and some extras. (A few of you might discover this recipe is just like my Berry Scuffins, however I’m loving this contemporary combo with the almond meal and all yogurt).
Plus, the simplicity of its base means it’s a gem to customise. I give concepts within the recipe.
One concept, which I wanted I had photographed, is so as to add a swirl of . This is able to be so enjoyable for Valentine’s! You may see extra about the way it seems to be on this video:

Notes
Cinnamon/spice be aware: Once I use fruits like dried or contemporary apples or diced banana, I like to make use of cinnamon and possibly a contact of vanilla. If utilizing contemporary chopped apple, you’ll be able to add the cinnamon to the diced apples as a substitute of to the batter (possibly utilizing 1 tsp in the event you like it), and toss by means of gently earlier than folding by means of.
Fruit be aware: Select your favourite dried or contemporary fruits. Observe that if utilizing juicy fruit like ripe berries, or frozen berries, the buns may have additional moisture so will want one other minute or two of baking to set. If utilizing berries, I like including 1/2 tsp pure almond extract, because it provide a slight ‘cherry’ taste. In any other case, use vanilla extract.
Yogurt Observe: Non-dairy yogurts fluctuate vastly in taste and consistency. If utilizing a vanilla yogurt, the batter will likely be sweeter so you might go for much less maple syrup. Alter to your tastes! Sugar Observe: If you wish to substitute the unrefined sugar with maple syrup, be aware that the batter will loosen. So, you may need to add one other 1 tbsp or so of oat flour.

Utilizing almond extract:
– Recent or frozen berries (see be aware)

– As proven in {photograph}, add chopped apple and bump up the cinnamon in the event you like.
