How to Make Lower Fat Strawberry Cinnamon Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or coat with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 large egg.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Spoon 1 tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup.
  7. Top each muffin with 1 teaspoon of your favorite strawberry jam.
  8. Spoon the remaining batter over the jam, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  9. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  10. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the tops of the muffins.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
