Ingredients

• 0.5 cup agave nectar 
• 2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder 
• 1 teaspoon baking soda 
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon 
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed 
• 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg 
• 0.7 cup orange juice 
• 0.5 teaspoon salt 
• 0.5 cup non-dairy milk (or other non-dairy milk)
• 0.3 cup vanilla-flavored soy yogurt 
• 4 tablespoons agave nectar (substitute agave nectar if you dare)
• 1 cup unbleached flour 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
• 1 cup flour whole wheat white (I used )

Equipment

• bowl
• oven
• knife
• toothpicks

Directions

1. Mix together dry ingredients (flour through flax seeds) in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, mix wet ingredients (yogurt through agave). In an even smaller bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon.
2. Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until thoroughly moistened. Do not beat or overmix. Spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup.
3. Sprinkle each half-full muffin with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar and fill with remaining batter.
4. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon sugar over each muffin. Take a toothpick or thin knife, insert it into the batter and swirl gently.
5. Bake for 17-22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool for a few minutes before serving.
