CRANBERRY-ORANGE MUFFINS



Cranberry-Orange Muffins image

These cranberry-orange muffins are not overly sweet, and big on flavor. Lots of tart cranberries and sweet orange juice/zest kick the flavor up. Best when made with fresh cranberries, fresh orange juice, and lots of pulp! My family loves them without the glaze, but some of my sweet-toothed friends prefer it with, as the muffins are only slightly sweet on their own.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup 1% low-fat milk
1/4 cup orange juice
1/8 teaspoon orange oil or 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 cup fresh cranberries (chopped, for a slightly "tarter" muffin) or 1 cup frozen cranberries (chopped, for a slightly "tarter" muffin)
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts or 1/4 cup pecans
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Batter: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt, then toss the cranberries in the mix and stir to coat.
  • In a separate bowl, or in a large measuring cup, whisk together the egg, oil, milk, orange juice, and orange oil or peel. Gently and thoroughly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  • Using a muffin or cookie scoop, or a 1/4-cup measure, pour the batter into 12 lightly greased muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
  • Topping: Combine all of the topping ingredients. Sprinkle a scant 1 tablespoon of topping over the batter in each muffin cup.
  • Baking: Bake the muffins in a preheated 400°F oven for 20 minutes, or until they're nicely domed and a cake tester inserted into the center of one comes out clean.
  • Remove the muffins from the oven, and run a knife around the edge of each one to separate it from the pan. Carefully tilt each muffin in its cup so steam doesn't collect underneath as they cool. After about 5 minutes, transfer them to a rack to cool completely.

CRANBERRY-ORANGE MUFFINS



Cranberry-Orange Muffins image

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Time 40m

Yield 12 - 16 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups pecan halves
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sugar
Juice and grated rind of one orange
2 tablespoons melted butter
Boiling water
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 cup chopped cranberries
Flour and butter to grease muffin tins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the pecan halves on a cookie sheet and place in the oven to toast gently while you proceed with the recipe.
  • Sift together into a mixing bowl the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add the sugar and stir gently to mix.
  • Place the orange juice and grated rind in a Pyrex or other heatproof measuring cup that holds at least one cup. Add the melted butter and enough boiling water to make three-quarters of a cup of liquid.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork. Add the hot liquid to the egg, beating continuously to mix well.
  • Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients. Add the milk and stir with a spoon to mix. Remove the pecan halves from the oven, and when cool enough to handle, chop them coarsely. You should have approximately one cup. Add the pecans to the muffin mixture. Add the roughly chopped cranberries.
  • Grease and flour muffin tins. Fill each one no more than two-thirds full. Place in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the muffins are golden and spring back when you poke them gently.

Tips:

  • Prep Work: Before you start baking, ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature. This helps them blend more evenly and creates a smoother batter.
  • Muffin Pan: Grease or line your muffin pan with cupcake liners to prevent the muffins from sticking.
  • Filling: Make sure to evenly distribute the cranberry-orange filling among the muffin cups. This ensures each muffin has a delightful burst of flavor.
  • Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the muffins as they bake. Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean, they're done.
  • Cooling: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

The delightful Cranberry-Orange Crunch Muffins with their irresistible streusel topping are a true treat for the senses. With their moist and fluffy texture, tangy cranberry filling, and sweet orange zest, these muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack. Remember to follow the tips mentioned above for perfect results every time. Indulge in the zesty flavors and enjoy these delightful muffins with your loved ones!
