Cranberry Protein Muffins Recipe
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour  or all-purpose flour
1 scoop protein powder I used Devotion Nutrition Angel Food Cake Protein Powder, can use vanilla or unflavored as well
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup fresh cranberries
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt can use plain as well
1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or whatever milk you prefer
1/4 cup maple syrup can use honey as well
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
Orange zest, optional
INSTRUCTIONS
First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then, line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Then, mix together all the dry ingredients first. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
Add in the protein powder. 
Set aside the dry ingredients and prepare the wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
Start by whisking the two eggs together slightly. Then, add in the Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey, olive oil, and vanilla extract.
Stir until everything is well incorporated. Now, combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Using a spatula, mix together until everything is combined, but do not over mix. Gently fold in the cranberries and add in the orange zest, if using.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin. Bake in preheated oven for 18-22 minutes.
Cool in muffin tin for about 5 minutes before transferring muffins onto wire racks to cool completely to room temperature. Enjoy!
