Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • zest of 1 medium orange
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 8-ounce carton fat-free vanilla yogurt
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 6-ounce pack fresh cranberries

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray muffin cups with cooking spray.

Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Stir with a whisk. In a separate bowl, combine oil, orange juice and zest, vanilla, yogurt and egg. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add liquid ingredients. Stir until just moist. Add cranberries and fold in gently.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan. Bake for 20 minutes (about 9 minutes for mini muffins) or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Makes 12 regular muffins or 36 mini muffins.
