Finally, it’s plum season, and delicious plum muffins with hazelnuts and cinnamon sugar are a great way to start the cozy time! These moist plum muffins with fresh plums and yogurt in the batter are quick to make and perfect for a late summer picnic.<\/p>\n

I love late summer when juicy plums are finally ripe. Last week, I baked a German plum cake<\/a> and a rustic plum crumble cake<\/a> using the harvest from our plum tree. And of course, grandma’s original recipe for plum compote<\/a> is a must.<\/p>\n

In Germany,\u00a0 plum cake, often referred to as “Zwetschgenkuchen,” holds a special place in our hearts as it signifies the arrival of late summer – a reminder to cherish the last golden days of summer and early fall. Cakes studded and topped with ripe plums are a symbol of comfort and nostalgia and we love a piece of plum kuchen<\/a> with whipped cream or ice cream during our coffee breaks that time of year.<\/p>\n

We have a lot of plums each year in my family’s garden and they are truly my favorite fruit for baking. In traditional German baking, we would use Italian prune plums. They are the best choice due to their firm yet tender texture, balanced sweetness, and rich flavor that intensifies when cooked, making them ideal for creating delicious and moist baked goods.<\/p>\n

\"perfect<\/p>\n

These small muffins are the perfect way to start into the cozy season. They are easy to take with you and eat by hand. No plates, no napkins needed. Ideal for a picnic.<\/p>\n

This muffin recipe is quick and easy to prepare, and if you like, you can also sprinkle the muffins with delicious streusel. Personally, I simply dust my muffins with a bit of cinnamon sugar or a little raw sugar before baking for a crunchy top.<\/p>\n

I LOVE the texture of the muffins!\u00a0For the batter, I use yogurt and oil instead of softened or melted butter – I find that together with the ground nuts, it yields the juiciest muffins.<\/p>\n

If desired, you can replace the plums with various types of stone fruit or berries. Another thing to love: This recipe doesn’t require fancy kitchen equipment – preparation is uncomplicated.<\/p>\n

All you need is a large mixing bowl, a muffin tray, paper muffin cases and a hand whisk, wooden spoon, or spatula.<\/p>\n
