Ingredients
2 cups flour
1/2 cup Suncore Foods® Snow Quinoa Flakes
3/4 cups brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp allspice
1 tsp Suncore Foods® Red Beet Powder
1/4 tsp Suncore Foods® Cosmos Red Cabbage Powder
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 eggs (room temp) beaten together
80g room temperature butter
2 tsp orange extract
Orange zest of 1 small orange
1 1/2 cups cranberries (chopped small in a food processor)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 12 hole muffin tin in every other hole so you only have 6 lined (like a checker board).
2. In a large bowl, add all your dry ingredients together (except for the Suncore Foods® Powders) and whisk together and set aside.
3. In another bowl, add your eggs and butter and mix with a hand mixer until softened.
4. Add in your remaining wet ingredients plus the orange zest and mix together (will be a thick mixture).
5. Slowly add in your dry ingredients and fold with a wooden spoon.
6. After you have folded in all the ingredients together, fold in your cranberries.
7. Take half your batter and put into a separate bowl, and mix your Suncore Foods® Powders to that mixture, mix with hand mixer.
8. Add the color mix to your non-color mix and *gently* fold two or three times so it just creates a swirl.
9. With an ice cream scoop, take your batter and scoop into your muffin tin.
10. Bake at 425 for 5 min then lower to 350 for 13-15 minutes.
