Set aside the dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients: 2% milk, 1 egg, plain yogurt, and olive oil until combined.

Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined, being careful not to over mix.

Fold in mix-ins: 3 cups chopped baby spinach, diced turkey bacon, old cheddar cheese, and chives until well mixed.

Transfer batter into a lined 12-cup muffin tin using an ice cream scoop, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Bake in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, checking for a golden top and a toothpick inserted in the center to come out clean.

Let muffins cool slightly before serving, optionally slathered in butter.
