Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Cranberry Whole Wheat Muffins Delight.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and lining a muffin tin with 12 cheerful paper liners.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, white sugar, ground flax seed, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Give it a good stir to ensure all the dry ingredients are well blended and ready to shine.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, unsweetened applesauce, fresh lemon juice, and canola oil until the mixture is smooth and harmonious.
Step 5
Now, pour this delightful wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients.
Step 6
Gently stir until everything is just moistened—remember, a little lumpiness is perfectly fine, so avoid overmixing! Next, fold in the halved cranberries, letting their vibrant color and tartness spread throughout the batter.
Step 7
With a spoon, fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full, allowing room for those lovely muffins to rise.
Step 8
Place the muffin tin in your preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
Step 9
You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, revealing the deliciousness within.
Step 10
Once baked, let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, filling your kitchen with a warm, inviting aroma.
Step 11
Finally, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, and get ready to enjoy these wholesome treats that are perfect for breakfast or a snack!.
