I'm a sucker for all things coconut and now that we have healthier options for incorporating it I like to modify existing recipes. This is a healthier version of a classic Cranberry Orange muffin. I've eaten 2 just now and had to make myself stop. Original version of this I was inspired from is recipe #75662 on this site.

HEALTHY CRANBERRY WALNUT MUFFINS



Healthy Cranberry Walnut Muffins image

We love these, especially in the fall! Though they're good anytime -- I usually throw a few bags of fresh cranberries in the freezer during the fall, so we can enjoy them year-round. Warning, this makes a large batch of muffins, usually about 18 for me, so make sure you have enough muffin tins on hand.

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups cranberries, chopped
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup plain yogurt (I use fat-free)
1/2 cup applesauce (I use the no sugar added type)
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Mix the first six ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir just until it's all moistened.
  • Grease muffin pans or insert liners.
  • Place a large spoonful of the mix in each muffin cup -- these don't rise very much, so I usually fill them about 3/4 to almost completely full.
  • Bake at 350° for about 35 minutes.
