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!

DIY, Decor, & More

Traveling and Antiquing

Here on Mornings on Macedonia, I also share a few lifestyle and travel posts as well. Now, I’m no travel blogger by any means, because we usually stick to where we’re comfortable traveling. But I do love the combo of traveling and antiquing!

However, I would love to expand that in the future and travel more places and share that experience with you all!

I also love to share life experiences and some fashion thrown in here too! Basically, you will find a little bit of everything here. And hopefully there is a little something for everyone because of that!

Favorite Travel Spots

One of our favorite places to go to is close by and that is Pigeon Forge, TN. If you’ve been around here long enough, then you probably remember we used to own a little lot with a camper down there in Cosby, TN. Which is super close to the area.

One of our favorite things to do there is antique hunt. And I have shared all the best places to antique hunt near Pigeon Forge here on the blog. We always love to mix traveling and antiquing!

Action Antiques

Another great place in Tennessee to antique hunt is Johnson City! And the best part is, it is only about an hour away from our house, which is super convenient

The Best Places to Antique Hunt in Johnson City

Man, how I miss that little camper! But, after selling it, we were able to travel more, especially more to the beach. Which is one of my favorite spots!

Myrtle Beach Sunrise

And I think our #1 go to place is Charleston, South Carolina as well. We make several trips there per year and hope to continue in the future!

Charleston Pineapple Fountain

Although, traveling and antiquing there is a little harder because the antiques there are way out of our price zone! You have to have a little family money to get some of those! LOL

And if you’re looking for a romantic getaway with your significant other, be sure to check out Margaritaville Island Hotel! We loved it so much, we’ve stayed there twice already so far!

View From Our Room

Live a Life You love

As I mentioned before, this blog is a huge passion of mine and I hope to make it a full time career here soon. I started off on Instagram, celebrating milestones of hitting 10K, and 20K, over the years. And now I am at 40K followers!

I am so blessed that you all enjoy my content and want to follow me, even if I share all my crazy life experiences. Such as getting LASIK surgery!

Safety Glasses for LASIK Surgery

Or getting my eyebrows microbladed for the very first time!

After Microblading

Thank you all so much for your support! And I hope to continue to share all my traveling and antiquing adventures with y’all for years to come!
