A nourishing snack or grab & go breakfast
This healthy muffin recipe is packed with whole grains thanks to the easy swap of whole wheat flour vs. regular white flour.
Whole wheat flour is a great source of fiber which can improve your digestion and keep you feeling full for longer. Greek yogurt is high in protein and calcium, which can help build and maintain strong bones and muscles.
The greek yogurt is added here not only for nutrition, but to to add moisture and create that fluffiness you want in baked goods. It is great in recipes that use whole wheat flour as it helps to counteract that naturally dryer texture of whole wheat baked goods.
