Time 45m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup dried cranberries
Juice from 1 large orange
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pumpkin spice blend
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
1/2 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon orange zest
Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  • Combine the cranberries and orange juice in a small microwave safe bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and poke a small hole to vent. Microwave until the orange juice is warm, about 1 minute. Set aside to let the cranberries plump, about 5 minutes, then drain off the juice.
  • Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Whisk together the butter, plumped cranberries, pumpkin puree, milk, eggs and orange zest in a large bowl. Add the flour-spice mixture to the pumpkin mixture and gently fold the batter together until it is just combined (it's ok if there are a few lumps).
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups and sprinkle the top of each muffin generously with the turbinado sugar. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 24 minutes. Cool the muffins in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

FRESH CRANBERRY PUMPKIN MUFFINS



Fresh Cranberry Pumpkin Muffins image

From an Ocean Spray Cranberry flyer that I found in my huge collection of saved recipe clipouts. I love cranberries and I love the flavor of pumpkin so of course I love putting the two together in any baked good. Remember, if using fresh cranberries that you've frozen to save for later, do not thaw the frozen cranberries before using - they will turn to mushy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart flavor that complements the sweet pumpkin in these muffins. If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly. This will help the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These fresh cranberry pumpkin muffins are a delicious and festive way to enjoy the fall season. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With their moist, tender crumb and tart-sweet flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
