In a medium bowl, stir together melted butter, vegetable oil and sugars until well combined.

Step 2

Add eggs, one at a time and mix until fully combined.

Step 3

Add vanilla and yogurt, mixing until incorporated.

Step 4

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees and fill a cupcake pan with paper liners. Set aside until ready to use.

Once batter has rested, use a measuring cup or large cookie scoop to spoon batter into the prepared cupcake pan.

Step 9

Step 10

Bake at 425 degrees for 5-6 minutes until tops have risen past the liner, then reduce heat to 350 degrees for the remainder of the baking time.

Muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean or with a few crumbs remaining. Do not over bake, muffins will be dry.
