Ingredients
  

For the Muffins:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup rolled oats

½ cup granulated sugar (or substitute with brown sugar for a deeper flavor)

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain or your favorite flavored variety)

2 large eggs

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mixed fresh fruits (suggested: blueberries, banana slices, diced peaches)

For the Topping:

½ cup cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional mixed fresh fruit for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or giving it a light spray of non-stick cooking spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly until they are evenly blended.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just blended—be careful not to overmix. Finally, fold in the mixed fresh fruits with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

          Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the muffin batter evenly into each cup of the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full for optimal rising.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are a lovely golden brown.

              Prepare Topping: While the muffins are baking, prepare the cream cheese topping. In a small bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

                Cool Muffins: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Top with Cream Cheese Mixture: After the muffins have cooled, generously spread a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top of each muffin, enhancing their deliciousness.

                    Garnish and Serve: For a stunning presentation, finish each muffin with a sprinkle of additional mixed fresh fruit. Enjoy your delightful fruity breakfast muffins!
