Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a mini muffin pan with paper liners.

    Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

      Mix the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Prepare the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until it forms a smooth paste.

            Fill the Muffin Pan: Spoon a tablespoon of muffin batter into each mini muffin cup. Then, add a small dollop (about 1/2 teaspoon) of the cinnamon swirl mixture on top of the batter. Use a toothpick or a skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon mix into the batter, creating a marbled effect. Top with an additional spoonful of batter if necessary.

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

                Freeze the Muffin Bites: Once cooled, place the muffin bites in an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours.

                  Serving: Once frozen, serve the muffin bites with a scoop of frozen yogurt on top. Garnish with fresh fruit or nuts if desired.

                    Enjoy! These delightful bites are excellent for breakfast or as a healthy snack throughout the day!
