• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cups plain Greek yogurt

• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups raisins
• 0.5 cups dried cranberries (craisins)
• 0.25 cups milk (any kind)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, Greek yogurt, melted butter, and brown sugar until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Stir in the raisins, craisins, and milk to evenly distribute the dried fruits and loosen the batter slightly.

Step 7

Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then remove them from the tin to cool completely on the rack.

Step 10

Enjoy your 'Can't Believe It's Whole Grain Delicious Raisin Craisin Muffins' as a healthy and flavorful snack or breakfast option!
