2 Tbsp Swerve
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
1 large egg
1 C non-fat plain Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp honey
1/4 C milk or almond milk
2 tsp vanilla
1 C fresh or frozen blueberries (can add other berries if you'd like)
Here's how you make it
Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a standard muffin pan with non-stick spray (or use silicone pan).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients (flour, oats, powder, soda, cinnamon, salt, Swerve).
In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients (egg, Greek yogurt, honey, milk, vanilla).
Mix wet and dry ingredients just until combined. Gently mix in berries.
Distribute in muffin pan and bake for 20 minutes.
They keep well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, and are great cold or warmed in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
