BUTTERMILK CRANBERRY MUFFINS



Buttermilk Cranberry Muffins image

I've been making these muffins and this cranberry butter for years, and I have never met anyone who didn't like them. I'll usually buy several bags of fresh cranberries when they're available and freeze them to use throughout the year. I've also discovered that powdered buttermilk works well. -Jane Yunker, Rochester, New York

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.

Provided by Stevie Bowden

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes     Muffin Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup dried cranberries
¼ cup fresh tangerine juice
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons tangerine zest
1 cup white sugar

  • Gently fold flour mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with milk in two additions, until batter is just mixed. Fold cranberries and juice into batter. Pour batter into prepared muffin cups and top with 1 teaspoon sugar.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
  • Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor to the muffins. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be sure to grease the muffin tins well to prevent the muffins from sticking.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins will rise too much and may overflow.
  • Bake the muffins at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These cranberry buttermilk muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They're perfect for a quick grab-and-go breakfast or a special brunch. The muffins are also a great way to use up leftover cranberries. So next time you're looking for a tasty and festive muffin recipe, give these cranberry buttermilk muffins a try.
