Healthy cinnamon coffee muffins with Greek yogurt?
The batter for muffins I used plain Greek yogurt instead of butter or oil. Each muffin is topped with a crunchy crumble, which is the best part of the cake! Crumbs fall on the plate.
Despite the name, there is no coffee in the cupcakes. Why is it called a coffee cake? Because they should be eaten with a cup of hot coffee!
I added a lot of cinnamon to both muffins and crumble, because it fits perfectly here ..
