These are a staple in my home; you will find me in my kitchen every Sunday, prepping them for the week. Inspired by the Loaded Choccy Muffins from Boob to Food, these muffins are an easy way to get vegetables into your little one's diet that taste like they're getting a treat.

¼ cup greek or coconut yogurt

⅓ cup olive oil, avocado oil or melted coconut oil

¼ cup organic maple syrup or raw honey

1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions
Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced/350°F. Line a muffin tin with 12 liners.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, cacao powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
