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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my muffins turned out really dry. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of cranberry muffins, but these were actually really good. The orange flavor really balances out the cranberries.
