Ingredients
  

For the Muffin Base:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of your choice)

1/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup vegetable oil

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon melted butter

For the Yogurt Topping:

1 cup Greek yogurt (or your favorite yogurt)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (to taste)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.

    Make the Muffin Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.

      Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

        Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Divide the muffin batter evenly among the mini muffin cups, filling each about halfway. Then, sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter in each cup. Use a toothpick or a skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the muffin batter, creating a marbled effect.

            Bake the Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

              Prepare the Yogurt Topping: While the muffins are cooling, mix the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once the muffin bites are completely cooled, serve them topped with a dollop of the yogurt mixture. For an added touch, sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon or a few blueberries.
