CRANBERRY AND OLIVE OIL CORN MUFFINS
Cornbread and cranberry sauce are synonymous with the holidays and they go beautifully together in these delicious muffins. The olive oil adds a fruity note that complements the citrus zest and cranberry sauce, which are swirled into the batter before baking. The Greek yogurt keeps the muffins tender and the cornmeal adds a lovely texture. Plus, they bake up with gorgeous, rustic tops. Feel free to use leftover cranberry sauce in this recipe if you'd like! These muffins are a great way to start the day and especially festive for the holiday season.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- For the cranberry sauce (see Cook's Note): Stir together the cranberries, sugar, orange juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and cook, covered, over medium heat for 5 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until the cranberries have broken down into a chunky sauce, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, make the batter: Whisk together the sugar and eggs in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and yogurt and whisk to combine. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest and reserved orange zest and whisk until combined. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt. Add to the wet ingredients and fold with a rubber spatula until just combined.
- Scoop the batter into each well of the prepared muffin tin, 3/4 of the way full, with a cookie scoop or 1/2-cup measuring cup. Top each muffin with 1 tablespoon of the cranberry sauce and swirl into the batter with a toothpick; cover with any remaining batter. If desired, top each with 1 fresh cranberry and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 5 minutes. Without opening the oven door, reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and continue to bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Immediately after baking, gently turn the muffins out of the tin and let them cool, bottoms up, to avoid soggy bottoms. Serve or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Place oven racks in the middle of the oven then preheat to 425 degrees. Butter 24 muffin tins, including the rim around each cup. Put the cornmeal in a medium sized bowl. Whisk it with the butter, eggs, sugar and buttermilk. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt then stir in the cornmeal mixture. Gently fold in the cranberries. Distribute the batter among 24 1/2 cup muffin tins. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Allow them to cool in the pans on a rack for 10 minutes, then unmold them.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen cranberries: Fresh cranberries are best, but frozen cranberries can also be used. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- 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 usually takes about 20 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely: This will help prevent the muffins from breaking.
Conclusion:
Cranberry corn muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They are perfect for a quick and easy breakfast or snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover cranberries. With their moist and flavorful texture, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
