Scale
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp neutral tasting cooking oil
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ cup plain whole-milk greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- flavor-specific ingredients below
- 1 cup Healthy Muffin Mix (recipe on Bit & Bauble)
For Banana Muffins
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- ½ cup mashed banana (about one banana)
For Veggie Spice Muffins
- (Reduce the yogurt to ¼ cup)
- ¼ cup applesauce
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ginger
- ½ cup shredded carrot or zucchini, patted dry
For Blueberry Lemon Muffins
- ½ tsp fresh grated lemon zest
- ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- optional (1-2 tbsp milk if too thick)
For Apple Muffins
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup shredded, peeled apple, patted dry
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray or line with paper liners. I use a silicone mold, so the muffins are easy to pop out.
- In a bowl, beat together the egg, oil greek yogurt, and vanilla along with the fruit and spices of your choosing. Add in the cup of Healthy Muffin Mix and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan using a heaping tablespoon full, dividing evenly between 16 cups and filling to the rim.
- Bake for about 13 minutes, or until muffins are golden brown and toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for about 5 minutes then remove to a wire wrack and continue cooling.
Notes
Refigerate in an airtight bag or container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
