greek yogurt marionberry muffin recipe

Ingredients

1 Cup whole wheat flour
1 Cup old fashioned oats
¼ Cup ground flaxseed meal
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ Cup plain Greek yogurt
1 Cup mashed banana (2 medium)
2 large eggs
2 Tablespoons vanilla extract
½ Cup coconut sugar
¾ Cup frozen whole marion blackberries
12 frozen marion blackberries for garnish
Honey Oat Streusel
5 Tablespoons old fashioned oats
1 Tablespoon honey for sticky streusel

Preparation

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl for dry ingredients, mix together whole wheat flour, oats, flaxseed meal, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.

Step 2
In a larger bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mashed banana, eggs, vanilla, and coconut sugar.

Step 3
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and mix gently. Add the frozen whole blackberries to the batter and mix until just combined.

Step 4
Prepare a muffin tin with cooking spray or cupcake liners and portion the batter into 12, almost to the top of each muffin cavity.

Step 5
In a small bowl, combine the streusel ingredients with your fingers and sprinkle on top of the muffins (note: this will be very sticky and clumpy).

Step 6
Top each muffin with a whole blackberry.

Step 7
Bake the muffins for 20 minutes and let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely.
