Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.5 cups maple syrup
• 0.75 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups dried cranberries
• 0.5 cups chopped pecans, toasted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should look slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries and toasted pecans, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters 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 or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
