Healthy Cranberry Orange Muffins
Easy and delicious fresh healthy cranberry orange muffins
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- ½ cup plain 0% greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup organic cane sugar
- 1 ½ cups fresh cranberries
For the glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice see notes
Instructions
- Beat together greek yogurt, olive oil, orange juice, vanilla extract, eggs, and sugar until well combined
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt
- Add dry ingredients to wet, until just combined (do not over mix)
- Fold in cranberries
- Fill muffin liners ¾ full with batter (the recipe yields around 12 muffins)
- Bake at 350 degrees for 23-26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean
- Whisk together orange juice and powdered sugar until it forms the glaze
- Drizzle glaze over muffins
- Store in the fridge and serve warm or chilled (chilled is my favorite!)
Notes
- You can use either 1 or 2 tablespoons of orange juice for the glaze. Just 1 will yield a thicker glaze. I used two tablespoons as I wanted a more orange-y flavor and the glaze was more runny and tasted great chilled from the fridge.
