With plums still in season and a recent spate of making ice cream and plum jam with them, I was inspired to make this easy plum muffin recipe. I love cinnamon, lemon and brown sugar with plums which is a classic combination that works like perfection with this iconic plum torte. These plum muffins are made with full-fat Greek-style yoghurt and effortlessly mixed by hand in one bowl. Top them with a sprinkle of brown sugar to create a lovely crunch top.

You could use other fruits of your choice in this recipe or a combination of fruits like strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. Just swap out the brown sugar for white if you use those.

What to serve with these muffins?
These muffins are perfect on their own because they have a moist crumb and are loaded with fruit, but any muffin is great with lashings of butter when served warm straight out of the oven.
