Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Almond Milk
- 2 teaspoons Canola Oil
- 1 Large Egg
- 1/4 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Truvia® Cane Sugar Blend Mix of Stevia Sweetener and Cane Sugar
- 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
- Pinch of Salt
Add-ins
- 1/4 cup Fresh Strawberries, chopped
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large microwave-safe mug, whisk together the nonfat plain Greek yogurt, almond milk, canola oil, egg, Truvia cane sugar blend, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the muffin dense.
- Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries to distribute the fruit evenly without crushing them.
- Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mug on high for 2 to 2 ½ minutes. The muffin is done when the top is set and springs back when lightly touched.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the mug muffin to cool slightly before eating, as it will be very hot right after microwaving.
Notes
- Use a large enough microwave-safe mug to prevent overflow during cooking.
- Microwave wattages vary; adjust cooking time accordingly to avoid under- or overcooking.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and almond milk with another non-dairy milk.
- Fresh strawberries can be substituted with frozen berries, but reduce added liquid slightly.
- Try topping with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey for extra indulgence.
