Recipe makes x 12 muffins

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Recipe Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1/3 cup oil (I would normally use canola in baking but only had olive! Use what you have!)

  • ½ cup maple syrup

  • 2 eggs

  • Zest of 1 orange

  • Heaping ½ cup of dried cranberries

  • Heaping ½ cup chopped walnuts

Recipe Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 12-muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.

  2. In a bowl, whisk together dry ingredients and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients.

  3. Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix with a baking spatula until almost fully combined (you want to slightly undermix in this step).

  4. Add the dried cranberries and chopped walnuts and mix until just combined.

  5. Even distribute mixture into your muffin pan. Top each muffin with a few extra chopped walnuts.

  6. Place in oven at 425 degrees for 5 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake for an additional 15 minutes.

  7. Cool and enjoy!
