Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF/210ºC and line or grease a 12 count large muffin tray. Set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter, white sugar and brown sugar on high speed for about 3 minutes. Add the Greek yogurt, eggs and vanilla extract. Mix on high speed until well combined, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the flour to the muffin batter and stir in with a wooden spoon until just mixed in, about one minute. Mix in the milk until combined, about 30 seconds. Fold in the dried cranberries and pecans.
  • Evenly distribute the muffin batter between the 12 count muffin tin. Sprinkle over with the 1 tablespoon of sugar. Bake between 18 - 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Remove from the muffin tin when the muffins have cooled off.
