This recipe only produces very large muffins, but the addition of pecans gives the traditional cranberry-orange muffins a whole new flavor. A real treat for Thanksgiving or Christmas brunch!

Time 55m

Yield 6 muffins, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon orange zest (from a large navel orange)
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped using blender
1/2 cup pecan pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees for a 6 cup muffin pan or 375 degrees for a dark, non-stick muffin pan.
  • Grease bottoms of jumbo muffin pan with vegetable shortening.
  • Prepare orange zest in a large bowl. Beat orange zest, milk, oil and egg with a wire whisk until well mixed. Using a large spoon, blend four, sugar, baking powder and salt and add all at once to liquid mixture, stirring just until flour is moistened. Batter will be lumpy; do not overmix.
  • Wash 1 cup cranberries. Put in blender on Chop (lowest setting) for 2 seconds ONLY. Fold in cranberries and nuts into muffin batter. Divide among 6 jumbo juffin cups.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes until a round toothpick pressed in the center of the muffin comes out clean. Let muffins cool about 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Serve warm with butter.

These muffins were easy to make and turned out great! I used chopped walnuts instead of pecans, and they were still delicious.

I've tried many cranberry orange nut muffin recipes, but this one is by far the best. The muffins are light and fluffy, and the orange and cranberry flavors are perfectly balanced.
