Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ⅔ cup coconut sugar (or packed brown sugar)
- ⅓ cup avocado oil
- ¼ cup whole milk (I used Darigold Fit)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp fresh orange juice
- 1 tbsp fresh orange zest
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped fresh cranberries divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° and line a 12 count muffin tin.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together plain Greek yogurt, sugar, oil, milk, eggs, orange juice, zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk until no lumps remain and everything is smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients and stir until almost combined. Fold in ¾ cup of the chopped cranberries until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between 12 muffins, then top evenly with the remaining ¼ cup chopped cranberries. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool, then serve!
