Ingredients  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup low fat greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup Zing™ Baking Blend
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries, chopped
  • 2/3 cups chopped walnuts

Streusel topping:

  • 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons Zing™ Baking Blend
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions 

  • Preheat your oven to 375F degrees. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and reserve.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg until combined.
  • In a second bowl, whisk the eggs and add the yogurt, milk and melted butter. Add the baking blend and continue whisking until smooth.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk just until incorporated. Fold in the fresh cranberries and walnuts.
  • Pour the batter into the muffin tin, dividing it equally into 12 muffins, filling each about 2/3 full. Reserve while you prepare the streusel topping.
  • To make the streusel topping, mix all the ingredients in a bowl until combined and crumbly.
  • Sprinkle the topping on top of each muffin.
  • Bake the muffins for about 25 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then, remove from tin and let it finish cooling on a wire rack!
