Ingredients

  • Cooking spray

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon stevia sweetener

  • 2 stevia sweetener packets

  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup fat-free, plain yogurt

Directions
