Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 1 unit Large egg
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the wet ingredients are smooth and uniform in consistency.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Be careful not to overmix—some lumps are fine.
Fold in the dried cranberries, distributing them evenly through the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
