Some differences between a Muffin and a cupcake are: A muffin can be savoury or sweet while cupcakes are always sweet, a muffin is not creamed unlike a cupcake where butter and sugar are creamed, a muffin has a coarser and heavier crumb structure while a cupcake shd be light, airy and a finer crumb structure.

Steps

1

Greese the paper cups with little butter (very important). It will be difficult to peel off the paper if you dont. You can use a silicon brush to do this.
2

Mix all the dry ingredients in one bowl then in a separate bowl, mix the vanilla, egg and yogurt gently until smooth. Greek yoghurt is prefarable. I didnt have it so i used Nagari yoghurt but this does not have the required consistency.
3

Pour the flour mixture into the egg mixture and mix gently in one direction until everything is just incorporated and has a uniform colour then scoop into the muffin or cupcake papers and bake for 20 minutes.
4

Bake at a slightly higher temperature than you would a cupcake. It should come out with a mushroom shape or a dome top (the one i baked is the first picture BUT IF DONE PROPERLY, IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THE SECOND PICTURE)
