Carrot Walnut Craisin Muffins image

I love baking with yogurt! It's a great way to lower fat and it makes whatever you're baking moist and fluffy! This is such a different combination but works really well for muffins and scones. Even though this recipe calls for Craisins (dried cranberries) fresh cranberries can be used but they do over power the other flavors so...

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 3/4 c all purpose flour
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon

I'm not a fan of craisins, so I used raisins instead. The muffins were still delicious.
