Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Ground flaxseed
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 cups Fresh or dried cranberries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.

Step 5

Gently fold in the cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring 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, or freeze for longer storage.
