BUTTERMILK CRANBERRY MUFFINS

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-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.

Time 50m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/3 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 egg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
2 1/2-2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 3/4 cups coarsely chopped cranberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F
  • Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or spray generously with nonstick cooking spray. Grease the top of the muffin pan.
  • For the streusel, mix all the ingredients together with a fork or your fingertips in a small bowl to make a crumbly mixture. Set aside.
  • For the batter, whisk the oil, brown sugar, zest, and egg together in a large bowl. The mixture should be pasty.
  • Stir in the vanilla and buttermilk.
  • In a large bowl, stir together 2 1/2 cups of the flour, the salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Add to the wet ingredients and blend.
  • Fold in the fruit. The use of frozen fruit may help firm up the batter. If not, and the batter seems too loose, add 1/4 cup more flour to make the batter a bit stiffer.
  • Using a large ice-cream scoop, fill the muffins cups to the top. Sprinkle streusel topping evenly over each muffin. Place the muffin pan on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for another 12 to 15 minutes, or until the muffins spring back when pressed lightly.
  • Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before unmolding onto wire racks.
