  • ½ cup (120g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup + 1 tbsp (255mL) nonfat milk, divided
  • 2 cups (240g) white whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ tsp liquid stevia

  3. In a second bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  8. Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups.
  9. Bake at 350°F for 30-33 minutes or until the top feels firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
