Ingredients

1 ¾ cups white whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional, or add more
1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt or 2% or whole milk
2 large eggs
½ tablespoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons avocado oil or light olive oil
¼ cup non-dairy milk such as almond, cashew, or soy

Optional Mix Ins (pick one)

1 cup blueberries
1 cup chopped strawberries
¾ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375ºF and line 12-cup muffin pan with liners. Spray lightly or use silicone liners.
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl combine dry ingredients; set aside.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl add Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla, maple syrup, oil and milk. Whisk together until fully combined.
Combine: Add bowl of dry ingredients to wet, using large silicone spatula to fold together until just combined. If using mix ins, add in after a couple of stirs, before flour bits are fully incorporated.
