Healthy Cranberry Yogurt Muffins
Cranberry Yogurt Muffins Made Healthy!
My healthy cranberry yogurt muffins are originally from the very first cookbook that I received as a gift when I was 9.
The book is simply called Muffins! Through the years I have looked for ways to make the original recipes healthier by adding more fibre and reducing sugar.
This Cranberry Yogurt Muffin is perfect to make for breakfast on the go or for healthy snacks to take to work or school.
I eat these fresh for a couple of days and also store them in the freezer so I can grab one on my way to work. Simply healthy and delicious.
You can also use this muffin recipe as a base for so many other variations.
Instead of cranberries, you can use:
- Chocolate chips
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Chopped apples
- Peaches
The choice is yours!

Can you use old fashioned oats instead?
Definitely – you just might need to soak them in the yogurt for a little longer.
These look delicious. Is there a substitute I could use for the yogurt if I want to make them dairy free?
Hi Lynn, You could certainly use a dairy-free yogurt, or use apple sauce. These really are delicious – let me know if you end up making and what substitute you use! Enjoy 馃檪
These look great! How long are you supposed to soak the oats in the yogurt?
Hi Madeline – you can soak them for just a few minutes 馃檪
We made these muffins and they were delicious! We used chocolate chips instead of cranberries so they weren’t quite as healthy as yours though. The kids gobbled them up!
So great to hear!! I love that you used chocolate chips – I know my kids would appreciate that lol I’m going to give that a try next time 馃檪
I love a good muffin recipe! These sound amazing!!
Thanks Danielle. Let me know if you give them a try 馃檪
This looks delicious ! I love using oats to bake with- so healthy!
Agreed! I’m a huge oatmeal fan and try and incorporate into as much as possible!
These look great and pretty simple to put together too. I’ve never had much luck with cupcakes. Mine always turn out super dry!
The yogurt in these muffins make them nice and moist. These are pretty hard to mess up if you want to give them a try 馃檪

Thanks Taylor! If you make them let me know 馃檪
I like the idea of having yogurt in them. I’ve not tried that before! Thank you!
Yeah, adding yogurt is a great way to get some protein in the muffins. It makes the muffins moist too!
I am always on the hunt for a new muffin recipe, and these are perfection! I cannot wait to make these!
Good! I’m a bit of a nerd for cranberries, but you can use other berries too 馃檪
Looks delicious! I’m always looking for healthy options and look forward to trying this.
These look delish! I love cranberries–I def need to try this recipe!
I’m always looking for new breakfast recipes. These look great!
I love that this looks both flavorful AND healthy! I would love to store a couple in the freezer to grab and go!
These are actually a standard that I keep in my freezer 馃檪 They are great to freeze. If I’m heading out for the day I’ll grab one and by the time I’m hungry for a snack it’s defrosted.
Yum! These look great and I bet my kiddos would love them.
Hi Emily – You can also try with blueberries or raspberries (whatever your kids fav berries are). Enjoy!
The muffins look delicious! I’m going to try to bake this with my family this weekend.
Perfect! These are super fast and easy. Hope it works out 馃檪
