Chloe Henry

Report

These beautiful muffins have less sugar, no butter and are made with yogurt so are quite healthy compared to other recipes, yet there's no sacrifice in the flavor.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F (175C)
Sift first 3 ingredients into a large bowl, then stir in sugar.
Place the cranberries (toss with a tiny bit of flour, which will stop them from falling to the bottom of the pan) with the grated orange peel in a small bowl, and set aside.
In a large measuring jug, combine the eggs, oil, yogurt and buttermilk and whisk to combine. Stir the yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients, just until barely combined (do not mix until the flour is completely cleared).
Add the cranberries and orange peel, and continue to fold the mixture until just combined. Do not over stir muffins or they will not be light in texture.
Place the mixture into the muffin cups or mini-loaf pans, or one large loaf tin, then sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until muffins and golden brown (or 50 to 55 mins if making one loaf) and a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the center.
Try to let them cool slightly before digging in, with a hot cup of tea!

Notes

These muffins are not very sweet at all. If you omit the sugar topping, I advise adding a little more sugar to the batter.
