Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1.0625 cups sugar or 1:1 sugar replacement
  • 1/2 cup 0-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4-1/2 cup milk, optional if batter is too thick
  • 10 ounces fresh cranberries

Instructions

  • Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a large bowl. Mix these dry ingredients.
  • Add the eggs, sugar, 0-fat Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to a separate large bowl. Thoroughly whisk and make sure there are no lumps of yogurt.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients a little at a time. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, but don’t over-mix. If the muffin batter is too thick because of the yogurt you are using, add 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of milk if needed so you can mix the batter.
  • Add the fresh cranberries to a high-powered blender or food processor. Then, pulse the cranberries. Don’t blend or emulsify them, just pulse them.
  • Lightly fold the pulsed cranberries into the muffin batter.
  • Lightly spray a non-stick muffin pan with oil or use muffin liners. Then, pour the batter into the muffin pan to form 12 muffins.
  • Bake the muffins at 350°F for 20-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean from the center. Once cooked, let the muffins slightly cool and enjoy!
