Instructions
Muffins:- Pre-heat oven to 325°F. Place 12 muffin liners in a muffin pan.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, sugar and brown sugar. Whisk for 1 minute until creamy. Whisk in yogurt, tea leaves and vanilla until combined. Gradually whisk in ¾ cup of melted butter until fully incorporated.
- Working in two batches, add the dry ingredients into the wet batter and gently whisk together until combined.
- Using a 2 oz ice cream scoop, scoop batter into muffin liners, filling each cup above ¾ inch height. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when checked. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes. Transfer muffins to a cooling rack.
