Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar substitute. Stir well to combine.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, orange juice, almond milk, orange zest, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
