Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cupcake Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: yogurt, sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the cupcakes remain fluffy.
Step 2: Microwave Preparation
Grease microwave-safe cupcake molds lightly with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Preheat your microwave if your model requires it.
Step 3: Pour the Batter
Evenly distribute the cupcake batter into the prepared molds, filling each one about two-thirds full to allow space for rising during cooking.
Step 4: Microwave Cooking
Place the filled cupcake molds in the microwave. Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, checking for doneness. The cooking time may vary based on your microwave’s wattage. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Step 5: Cooling
Once cooked, carefully remove the molds from the microwave and let them cool for a few minutes before transferring the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
