1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

5. Gently fold in the diced plums, taking care not to overmix.

6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.

7. Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar if desired.

8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

9. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

You can use red or black plums — just make sure they’re ripe but still firm.

For a flavor twist, add a pinch of cardamom or ginger.
