Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Whole milk
• 1 unit Large egg
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Dried cranberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the wet ingredients are smooth and uniform in consistency.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Be careful not to overmix—some lumps are fine.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries, distributing them evenly through the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
