Berry Oatmeal Yogurt Muffins


I woke up craving blueberry muffins BUT the best/closest thing I had on hand for baking was blueberry greek yogurt and raspberry preserves.  Fear not! I can make this work...

*1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
*1 cup quick-cooking oats
*1/2 cup raw turbinado sugar (or packed brown sugar)
*2 tsps baking powder
*1/2 tsp salt
*1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
*1/2 tsp baking soda
*pinch nutmeg
*pinch or two of cardamom (if you have it)
*1 egg
*1 container (6 oz) blueberry yogurt
*2 TBS coconut oil + extra to prepare in the muffin tin

Combine all the dry ingredients 

Combine wet (egg, yogurt and oil) gently

Fold dry and wet together just until combined (over-mixing=heavy muffins)

Coat muffin pan with coconut oil or cooking spray or butter or paper liners and fill each cup halfway with batter.  Add a dollop of raspberry jam to each and then add more muffin batter.  Overall, each muffin well should be 3/4+ way full 

Bake at 400F for 17-20 mins or until a toothpick inserted in the middle and comes out clean





**Possible additions: chia seeds, walnuts, real berries**
