Double Cranberry Muffins

Cranberries have been one of my favorite dried fruits to snack on during my pregnancy. I’ve put them on everything- salads, pork stuffing and I really like these healthy cranberry muffins from the recipe archives of What to Expect!

Yes, the muffins are a sweet treat, but they are very healthy. Notice the ingredients! I like to have a muffin for breakfast with a tall glass of milk! Enjoy...

Double Cranberry Muffins
From What to Expect.com

¾ cup whole wheat flour

¼ cup ground flaxseed or oat bran

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1½ cups old-fashioned oats

2 large eggs

1 cup white grape juice concentrate

½ cup all-fruit cherry or raspberry preserves

1/3 cup canola oil

2 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup fresh or frozen cranberries

½ cup dried cranberries (preferably unsweetened)

Preheat oven to 375F. Line a standard-sized 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. In large bowl, combine flour, flaxseed, baking powder, soda, and salt. Stir in oats. In another bowl, combine eggs, juice concentrate, preserves, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Slowly stir into flour mixture; be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in all the cranberries.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin. Bake 18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer to wire rack; let cool completely. Store muffins at room temperature in tightly sealed container for 3 days or frozen for 3 months.
