Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.33 cup Stevia or erythritol
• 1 cup Fresh or frozen cranberries
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce and stevia (or erythritol) until the sweetener dissolves completely.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the applesauce mixture and whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the plain Greek yogurt until just combined. It's okay if there are still some lumps in the batter.

Step 6

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be attentive not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 7

Gently fold in the cranberries and the chopped pecans or walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
