Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 and prepare muffin pan with non-fat cooking spray.
Step 2
Sift together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Step 3
In a large bowl, add sugar free syrup, eggs, yogurt, carrot, apple, ginger and vanilla.
Step 4
Add dry ingredients to wet, mix until just combined, do not over mix.
Step 5
Fold in dried cranberries.

Step 7
Cool on a wire rack and hold back for a few minutes before you tear into them.
*Look for something that is about 130 calories per serving and 25 g protein. This has a huge scooper, so it was 2 scoops = 1 cup. 260 calories and 50g protein total.
**I don’t think it matters what flavor yogurt you use. If I’d had nonfat Greek, I’d have used that.
***If you don’t have a juicer, just grate them up or use a food processor. It was 1 1/3 cups worth of pulp.
