Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Spray a 12-cup standard muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
-
In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk yogurt, orange juice, eggs, butter, and vanilla until well combined.
-
Make a well in the center of dry ingredients; pour yogurt mixture into well and stir just until batter is combined. Gently fold in plums and pecans. Evenly spoon batter into the prepared muffin tin cups.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
-
Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
