Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cups Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen cranberries, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoons Orange zest
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners or lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg whites, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be slightly thick.
Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and orange zest with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake in the preheated oven 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 tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze and reheat as needed.
