Time 25m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 cups biscuit baking mix
1 ½ cups milk
⅓ cup whole berry cranberry sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Use a fork to lightly blend the biscuit mix and milk in a large bowl. With spoon, drop 16 biscuits onto prepared baking sheet. Make a small depression in the center of each biscuit.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries are more flavorful and have a better texture than frozen or dried cranberries.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before eating. This will allow the muffins to set and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Cape Cod Cranberry Muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a tasty and festive treat, give these muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
