Leftover cranberries? Problem solved!


Every year around this time, I am once again reminded at how much I love cranberries! We bought way too many of them, so I took the leftovers and made some yummy muffins!

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
2 tsps baking powder
dash salt
1 cup fresh cranberries, cut in half
1/4 cup half and half (or whole milk)
1/2 cup orange juice (might need more, if batter is too thick)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/4 cup melted butter
Cooking spray

Topping:
2 tablespoons of sugar
1/4 tablespoon of kosher salt

Recipe:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix in cranberries. Make a well in the middle and add melted butter (make sure it's not too hot), half/half, orange juice, vanilla, and egg. Stir to combine all ingredients. Add batter to muffin tins sprayed with cooking spray. Top with sugar/salt mixture. Bake for 20-30 minutes.

  1. The muffin was so soft inside, but with a great crumbly/sugary top!
