CRANBERRY NUT MUFFINS
These are incredibly moist muffins with crunchy edges that add a great texture contrast. The fresh cranberries give bright bursts of flavour to the not-too-sweet nutty batter. These muffins are a favourite at "Pastries a Go Go" in Decatur. Recipe was printed in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (May 2007). Notes: The trick to getting crunchy edges is to bake the muffins in a very hot oven (400°F). You will also get good, but cakier, results if you bake the muffins for 15-20 minutes in a 350°F oven.

CRANBERRY CRUMB MUFFINS
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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 12 muffin cups with foil muffin liners. Using electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar in large bowl until thick and light, about 5 minutes. Add applesauce, sour cream and orange peel and beat until well blended. Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt over mixture; beat until just blended. Stir in cranberries and walnuts. Divide batter among muffin liners.
- Bake muffins until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer muffins to rack; cool.
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen cranberries and will give your muffins a more vibrant color.
- Chop the walnuts finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the muffins and prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups to the top. This will help the muffins rise evenly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the muffins dry.
Conclusion:
These cranberry nut muffins are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast, a snack, or a dessert, these muffins are sure to satisfy your craving.
