Categories     Berry

Yield 12-18 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
5 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray 12 standard muffin pan cups with cooking spray or line with paper liners. 2. Combine the old-fashioned rolled oats and the milk in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture just to a boil, remove from the heat and stir in the butter until melted. Set aside to cool. 3. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl and whisk to blend. 4. Add the eggs to the cooled oat mixture, stirring until blended. Add the oat mixture to the flour mixture, and stir just until blended. Stir in the cranberries and nuts. Do not over mix. 5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan cups. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in to the center comes out clean. Set pan on a wire rack and let cool 5 minutes. Remove muffins from the pan and set on rack to cool.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, ripe cranberries. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • If you don't have any sour cream, you can substitute plain yogurt or buttermilk.
  • If you don't have any maple syrup, you can substitute honey or agave nectar.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the muffins. This will help them rise evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
