QUICK CRANBERRY PUMPKIN MUFFINS



Quick Cranberry Pumpkin Muffins image

I have been making these for years. I used to make them in bread form, but having 7 children it was just easier to dole out a muffin than cut up the messy loaf. I also began giving these out as Christmas food gifts. This was requested by my 17-year-old son for our dessert we have to bring to his football banquet. My 21-year-old daughter who moved to Ogden, Utah with her husband and 2 kids wants to make these muffins for her in-laws who will be spending the Thanksgiving holidays with them.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup solid-pack pumpkin
2 cups fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped (you may use frozen, just do not thaw!)
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup 1% low-fat milk (or higher in fat content, but I've found skim does not work well)
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F and grease or paper line 12 muffin tins.
  • Combine dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Combine remaining ingredients in a separate mixing bowl.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until the dry ingredients are moist (do not overmix).
  • Fill each muffin cup 2/3rds of the way full with batter.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Cool slightly before removing from tins to cool on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
  • Grate the pumpkin yourself. Pre-packaged pumpkin puree can contain additives, so grating your own pumpkin is the best way to ensure a fresh, natural flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups to the top. This will help the muffins rise evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the muffins.

Conclusion:

These quick cranberry pumpkin muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their moist texture, sweet and tart flavor, and festive appearance, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
