Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Dried Cranberries
  • 1 cup Hot Water
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 Orange
  • Juice of 2 Oranges about 1/3 cup
  • 1/3 cup Greek Yogurt nonfat
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pour the cranberries into a bowl and cover them with hot water. Allow them to sit while you mix up the rest of the batter. This will reconstitute the cranberries.
  • In a large bowl mix together the honey, eggs, vanilla, zest of 1 orange, juice of 2 oranges, Greek yogurt and sugar.
  • Slowly add in the flours 1/2 cup at a time. Add the baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix in the vanilla almond milk. Fold in the cranberries.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

I do not recommend fresh cranberries for this recipe. They are far too tart and you'd have to really increase the sugar.  You could try the recipe with a gluten free flour blend, but please note I haven't tested it myself.
