Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC). Grease 12 large muffin cups or line them with paper liners.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until well combined.
-
Stir the shredded Gouda cheese into the dry ingredients until evenly distributed.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, melted butter, and beaten eggs until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients all at once into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula just until the flour is moistened; do not overmix.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
-
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note
For best results, use full-fat plain yogurt for a richer texture. Greek yogurt works well but may result in a denser muffin.
You can substitute Gouda with other semi-hard cheeses like Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Swiss for different flavor profiles.
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds before serving.
To make these muffins vegan, substitute the eggs with flax eggs and use a plant-based yogurt and butter.
