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. As I mentioned above, I used Angel Food Cake protein powder for this. You can also use a vanilla or unflavored option too if you don't want it to be as sweet.
  • 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 (or maple syrup), 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.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze in a freezer bag for up to 3 months as well!
