Time 9h20m

Yield 6-12 muffins, 6-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 navel oranges, zest of
2 navel oranges, juice of
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 tablespoons margarine
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup cranberry granola (I used Zoe's Cranberry and Currant Granola, or a flaked cranberry cereal)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons soymilk, to taste

Steps:

  • Soak the cranberries in the juice overnight, I added the zest to the jar also.
  • (one jar with a lid, I save a PB jar for this use) The next day-- preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Spray either 6 large muffin baking cup pan or 12 small muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • Make the topping, combine flour, cinnamon and sugar, cutting in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the granola, soaked canberries and juice and applesauce.
  • Set aside for 5 minutes, or until cereal is softened.
  • Once cereal is soft, add the oil and the vanilla, place the oil in the jar to remove all flavor if desired.
  • Stir together flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Add the flour mixture to the cranberry mixture, stirring until combined, you will need to add the soy milk to make it not such a stiff dough, you may need up to 1/4 cup or more.
  • Divide the mixture to muffin cups evenly.
  • Sprinkle the muffins evenly with the topping.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Place on cooling rack, cover with a tea towel for 5 minutes.
  • After the five minutes, run a butter knife around the muffins, then remove very carefully, they are very soft and delicate.
  • Cool completely, place in tupperware lined with a paper towel.
  • Freeze after 1-2 days, wrapped in plastic wrap.
  • Tip: If you have no fresh oranges, cranberry orange juice (Minute Maid, I think) is a wonderful substitute or even OJ prepared from concentrate, but I prefer fresh as I like the zest added to these.

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.

CRANBERRY CRUMB MUFFINS



Cranberry Crumb Muffins image

In these tender muffins, a crunchy topping adds nice textural contrast, and supertart cranberries keep the sweetness balanced. Fresh or frozen cranberries work well, but if using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before they go into the batter. The batter may seem extra stiff from the cold berries, but it will bake up just fine. (They may need an extra minute or two in the oven.) Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or a mix of the three would be lovely. If you use berries, you can expect some color streaking, but they will taste great. Chopped up in-season peaches or plums would be tasty, too. Use a spring-loaded ice cream scoop to portion muffin batter into the prepared pan: It's easy, quick and helps to keep the muffins the same size.

Time 50m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup/96 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/89 grams loosely packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons/57 grams unsalted butter, melted
2 cups/256 grams all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups cranberries/227 grams, fresh or frozen (but not thawed)
1 cup/99 grams pecans or walnuts, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup/120 grams full-fat sour cream, at room temperature
1/4 cup whole milk, at room temperature
8 tablespoons/113 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup/151 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
  • Prepare the crumb mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter, and stir to combine.
  • Prepare the muffins: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the cranberries and pecans, and gently toss to combine.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and the milk. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
  • Fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Fold in the sour cream mixture. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups. Squeeze the crumb mixture to create clumps of varying size, and sprinkle evenly over the tops. (It's OK if some of the crumb mixture lands on the tray.)
  • Bake the muffins until they are puffed and set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 26 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • To maximize flavor, use fresh cranberries and oranges.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • For a sweeter muffin, add an extra 1/2 cup of sugar to the batter.
  • If you don't have a muffin pan, you can bake the batter in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • These muffins are best served warm, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These cranberry orange granola crumble-topped muffins are the perfect way to start your day. They're moist, flavorful, and packed with healthy ingredients. The granola crumble topping adds a delicious crunch and sweetness that takes these muffins to the next level. Whether you're enjoying them for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, these muffins are sure to be a hit.
