Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 cup 0% fat vanilla greek yogurt I use Stoneyfield.
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 dashes nutmeg

Toppings and add ins

  • 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup cold butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Or place cupcake papers in muffin pans
  • Cream together butter and sugar with mixer until fluffy about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time and mix until completely combined and fluffy.
  • Add yogurt and mix about 10 seconds, doesn’t need to be completely combined.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to the wet ingredients. When ingredients are completely combined add a few dashes of nutmeg and give mixer a few more turns.
  • ADD-INS: You can fold in the mini chocolate chips and top with a crumb topping, use only crumb topping and no chocolate chips, or use only chocolate chips, depending on your preference.

Crumb Topping

  • For the crumb topping combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl cut cold butter in with a pastry cutter until there are no pieces larger than the oats. This will take a few minutes. If you’d rather you can do this in a food processor.
  • Spray mini muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray spoon batter into muffin tins filling them about 3/4 full. Sprinkle either mini chocolate chips or crumb topping or both over batter.
  • Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. Remove and allow to cool for 5 minutes remove muffins from tins to a cooling rack and repeat until batter is gone. Should make 48 mini muffins and 24 regular sized muffins.

These little muffins freeze extremely well and are great for lunches. Once they are cooled place three in snack bags zip them up tight and place them in the freezer for lunches, on the go breakfast or a quick snack.
