Description

Soft, sweet, and swirled with cozy cinnamon flavor—these muffins taste like a cinnamon roll but in a lighter, protein-packed form. The creamy yogurt centers make every bite extra indulgent without the guilt!


Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana (mashed)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup oat flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (for centers)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (for centers)
  • 1 tsp honey (for centers)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease.
  2. In a bowl, mash banana until smooth. Whisk in Greek yogurt, egg, honey, and vanilla. Stir in oat flour, cinnamon, and baking powder until just combined.
  3. Spoon batter halfway into each muffin cup. Add ½ teaspoon of the creamy yogurt filling, then cover with more batter.
  4. Bake 15–18 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a “cinnamon roll crust.” Swap banana with unsweetened applesauce for a milder flavor. Drizzle with a light glaze (Greek yogurt + honey) for extra cinnamon roll vibes.
