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 and line muffin tin with liners or grease lightly.
  2. Mash banana until smooth in a mixing bowl.
  3. Whisk in Greek yogurt, egg, honey, and vanilla until combined.
  4. Stir in oat flour, cinnamon, and baking powder until just mixed.
  5. Spoon batter halfway into each muffin cup.
  6. Add ½ teaspoon creamy yogurt filling to each cup.
  7. Cover filling with remaining batter.
  8. Bake 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
