These Cranberry Orange Yogurt Muffins uses frozen cranberries, orange zest, Greek Yogurt, and have perfect muffin tops.
You guessed it! These Cranberry Orange Yogurt Muffins recipe is actually my Cranberry Crumble Coffee Cake recipe but without the crumble and in muffin form. It really is the perfect recipe that makes 1 tray of muffins, total of 12 muffins. Without the crumble, the batter rises perfectly in this recipe for the muffins to create beautiful muffin tops! I absolutely love my recipe and these muffins have been vouched by my mom who claims she can easily enjoy 3 muffins in one go but will exercise some self-control. Hope you love these muffins as much as we do!
In a separate bowl or plate, toss cranberries in 1 Tbsp of flour to give it a light coating before folding into the batter. This will keep the cranberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins as they bake in the oven!
Cranberry Orange Yogurt Muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 large orange, zest
- 1 1/2 cup frozen cranberries measured in measuring cup than the grams shown on the bag of berries
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together sugar and butter until blended and fluffy. Approx. 3 minutes on medium speed.
- Add eggs one at a time, mix until blended.
- Add yogurt and vanilla extract, mix until blended.
- Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and orange zest into the batter until fully blended.
- Fold in cranberries that have been coated in 1 Tbsp of flour. The flour coating adds friction against the batter which keeps the berries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins while baking.
- Line a muffin pan with large muffin cups. Scoop the batter into the cups, fill each evenly. The batter is stiff and sticky so try to fill each cup fully by pressing down gently to get rid of any air or empty spaces.
- Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes until toothpick comes out clean from testing the centre of the muffins.
