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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula until just combined.

Step 5

Add the fresh or frozen cranberries to the batter. Gently fold them in, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 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 allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your healthy cranberry muffins as a nutritious snack or breakfast treat!
