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.

Yield Makes 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 24

Topping:
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut up
¼ cup (1 ounce) pecans or walnuts, finely chopped
Muffins:
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup cranberries, coarsely chopped
½ cup (2 ounces) pecans or walnuts, chopped
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon orange extract
1 large egg at room temperature
1 cup plain or orange yogurt, top liquid poured off
4 tablespoons (¼ cup) unsalted butter, melted, or canola oil
2 tablespoons wheat germ
1½ cups unsifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Special Equipment
2½-inch muffin cups; sifter; wooden skewer or cake tester

Steps:

  • Pan preparation:
  • Coat the muffin cups with nonstick vegetable spray (then wipe the top of the pan with a paper towel) or coat with solid shortening.
  • Muffins:
  • Position rack in center of the oven. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • In a medium bowl, toss together all streusel topping ingredients and pinch everything together with your fingertips to make crumbs. Set aside.
  • Measure the sugar. In another bowl, toss together the cranberries and nuts with the grated orange zest, extract, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg(s), yogurt or milk, melted butter or oil, the remaining sugar, and the wheat germ. Place a sifter over the bowl and measure the flour, baking powder, baking soda (if using), salt, and cinnamon into it. Stir/sift the dry ingredients onto the wet, add the cranberry-nut mixture, and stir everything together just to blend; don't over-beat.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them nearly full. Sprinkle generously with the streusel crumbs. (Half-fill any empty cups with water.) Bake 20 to 22 minutes (or for the time indicated for your altitude in the chart), or until the muffins are golden brown and well risen and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool slightly on a wire rack, and serve warm.
  • Cooks' Note
  • If you are baking the muffins at high altitude, follow the adjustments below.
  • If baking at 3,000 feet:
  • Increase yogurt to 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons. Increase flour to 1¾ cups. Increase baking powder to 1 tablespoon. Omit baking soda.
  • If baking at 5,000 feet:
  • Increase sugar in muffin batter to ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons. Increase to 2 eggs. Decrease yogurt to 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons. Use ⅓ cup oil, not butter in muffin batter. Increase flour in muffin batter to 1¾ cups. Increase baking powder to 1 tablespoon. Omit baking soda. Place rack in lower third of oven; bake at 400°F for 22-25 minutes.
  • If baking at 7,000 feet:
  • Increase sugar in muffin batter to ⅔ cup. Increase to 2 eggs. Decrease yogurt to ¾ cup and add 2 tablespoons water. Use 1/3 cup oil, not butter, in muffin batter. Increase wheat germ to 3 tablespoons. Increase flour in muffin batter to 1¾ cups. Increase baking powder to 1 tablespoon. Omit baking powder. Place rack in lower third of oven; bake at 400°F for 22-25 minutes.
  • If baking at 10,000 feet:
  • Decrease sugar in muffin batter to ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons. Replace yogurt with 1 cup whole milk. Use oil, not butter, in muffin batter to retain more moisture. Increase flour in muffin batter to 2 cups minus 2 tablespoons. Omit baking soda. Increase salt in muffin batter to ¾ teaspoon. Place rack in lower third of oven; bake at 425°F for 25-27 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen cranberries, and they will hold their shape better in the muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These cranberry muffins with walnut-thyme streusel are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these muffins a try!
