1/2 cup chopped kalamata olives to liquid ingredients

1 tbsp dried oregano to dry ingredients

1/2 cup drained chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil to liquid ingredients

3. Prepare flavorings.
4. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
5. Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
6. Whisk mustard and eggs together, then beat into butter until pea-sized lumps form
7. Alternating by thirds, beat in the dry ingredients and the yogurt until a smooth, very thick batter just forms.
8. Spray a 12- cup muffin tin with 1/2 cup capacity (or four mini-muffin tins) with vegetable cooking spray.
9. Divide batter evenly among the cups.(A spring-action regular or mini ice cream scoop works well. The muffin cups will be full).

11. Cool slightly in pans set on a wire rack.
12. Remove muffins and serve.
