Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1.25 cups Fresh or frozen cranberries
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cups Honey
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Coconut oil (melted and cooled)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the Greek yogurt, honey, applesauce, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Stir well to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula until just combined.
Add the fresh or frozen cranberries to the batter. Gently fold them in, being careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 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 allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your healthy cranberry muffins as a nutritious snack or breakfast treat!
