Equipment

  • silicone muffin pan

Ingredients

Wet ingredients

  • 2 eggs, beaten (sub egg replacer)
  • 1 cup applesauce (240 g) I used unsweetened, sub 2 mashed bananas
  • 1/4 cup greek-style yogurt (60 g) df if desired, I used 2%
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp sugar (72 g) sub granulated sweetener
  • zest of 1 small orange
  • juice of said orange (45 g) about 3 tbsp

Dry ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup flour (150 g) gf all purpose if desired
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Mix-in

  • 1 cup cranberries (100 g) fresh or frozen

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F and grease a silicone muffin tin (I don’t recommend using muffin liners with these since they WILL stick).
  • Combine the sugar and zest together and let them sit a few minutes.
  • Lightly beat your eggs and combine with applesauce, yogurt, orange juice, sugar and zest.
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt.
  • Fold dry into wet until combined. DO NOT OVERMIX. I cannot emphasize this enough. Just fold until no big flour clumps remain.
  • Fold in cranberries.
  • Pour into muffin tin and bake for 5 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350F and bake another 15-25 minutes until a knife inserted comes out clean.
  • Let muffins cool most of the way in the tins (at least 10 minutes) and then remove gently using a butter knife. Cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!

Notes

  • I store leftovers in the fridge or freezer. If I want a warm muffin I thaw/warm in the microwave or room temperature.
  • To make the muffins EXTRA moist (optional) add 1-2 tbsp oil to the liquid ingredients.
