Description

Get your cinnamon roll fix—without the sugar crash! These low-calorie muffins are soft, spiced, and stuffed with a creamy yogurt center. Perfect for clean eating breakfasts or snacks.


Ingredients

For the Muffins:

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

For the Creamy Centers:

2 tbsp Greek yogurt

½ tsp cinnamon

1 tsp honey


Instructions

Preheat Oven:

Set oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease.

Mix Batter:

In a medium bowl, mash the banana until smooth.

Whisk in Greek yogurt, egg, honey/maple syrup, and vanilla.

Stir in oat flour, cinnamon, and baking powder until just combined.

Prepare Creamy Filling:

In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, cinnamon, and honey for the creamy centers.

Assemble Muffins:

Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter.

Add ½ tsp of creamy filling in the center.

Top with more muffin batter to cover.

Bake:

Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted on the edge comes out clean.

Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Add a cinnamon sugar sprinkle on top before baking for a cinnamon roll-style crust.

Swap mashed banana for unsweetened applesauce for a subtler flavor.

For extra “cinnamon roll vibes,” drizzle a glaze made with Greek yogurt and honey after baking.

Muffins store well in the fridge for 3–4 days or can be frozen.
