Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • Zest of 1 large orange
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 3/4 cup dried or frozen cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, egg, vanilla extract, melted oil, orange zest, and orange juice until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in the cranberries.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 16 to 19 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra orange flavor, you can sprinkle a little coarse sugar mixed with orange zest on top before baking.
  • If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • This recipe keeps well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
