2. 2Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. 3In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, then mix in the egg, yogurt, and vanilla.
4. 4Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined.
5. 5Divide the batter in half; mix cocoa powder and milk into one half, and jam into the other half.
6. 6Drop alternating spoonfuls of the two batters onto the tray and gently swirl the tops with a toothpick.
7. 7Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until set and lightly browned at the edges.

Tips

• Do not overmix once the flour is added or the bites may bake up dense.
• Use a thick jam so the berry swirl stays visible and does not disappear into the batter.
• These freeze well; rewarm briefly in a low oven for an easy breakfast treat.
