3. In another bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in batches, stirring slowly until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, or the muffins will become tough.

7. Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, fill the muffin cups with the batter until they are about 3/4 full.
8. Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean.
9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove them and transfer them to a wire rack.
