CARROT WALNUT CRAISIN MUFFINS
I love baking with yogurt! It's a great way to lower fat and it makes whatever you're baking moist and fluffy! This is such a different combination but works really well for muffins and scones. Even though this recipe calls for Craisins (dried cranberries) fresh cranberries can be used but they do over power the other flavors so...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray muffin pan with nonstick or line with paper cups. Soak dried cranberries in hot water for about 20 minutes, drain very well right before use.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground flax, and salt. Set aside.
- 3. Melt butter in microwave; set aside to cool slightly. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine yogurt and egg. Slowly stir in cooled melted butter until well blended. Add mixture to flour mixture but do not stir.
- 4. Add carrots, dried cranberries (well drained after having been soaked), and walnuts. Fold together until just blended. Don't over stir!
- 5. Scoop into prepared muffin tin. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until toothpick tests done.
- 6. Let cool completely. Wrap in plastic wrap, place into large freezer ziploc and store in freezer, if desired.
