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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners or lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg whites, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be slightly thick.
Step 5
Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and orange zest with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze and reheat as needed.
