Buttermilk Cranberry Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Combine cranberries and 1/4 cup sugar; set aside.
• Mix together flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Using pastry blender, cut butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Lightly beat together egg, buttermilk and orange juice.
• Add the liquid and sweetened cranberries to dry ingredients, stirring until just moistened; be careful to not over mix.
• Spoon batter into greased muffin cups, filling two-thirds full.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
• To make cranberry butter, puree cranberries in blender.
• Add sugar, butter, and lemon juice; process until smooth.
• Refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, salt and orange zest. Cut in shortening until crumbly. In a small bowl, combine the orange juice, eggs and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in cranberries and nuts., Fill 18 greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 375° until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 18-20 minutes. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to wire rack. Serve warm.

Steps:

• 1. Pour buttermilk into a large bowl and add the bran flakes. Goal is to soften them up. If you are making your own buttermilk (which I do regularly, make sure the milk sits for 10 minutes with the vinegar in it before using it.)
• 2. Add the oil, the egg, baking soda, salt, vanilla, optional orange extract*. Mix by hand about 4-5 strokes. *Note: Sometimes I use a tsp of pure maple flavoring instead or 2 tbsps of pure maple syrup.
• 3. Add ground flax seed, sugar and flour. Mix by hand until incorporated. No need to use an electric mixer. Then fold in the coconut, raisins, 1/2 the chopped walnuts, cranberries. Note: I just put the nuts in a sandwich bag and pound them a few times with my meat mallet to break them up.
• 4. Pour into XL greased or lined muffin tins. Sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup of nuts on top of the muffins. This makes them crunchy and roasts the nuts while cooking which enhances their flavor.
• 5. Bake at 375 for 20-25 min or until toothpick comes out clean. If muffin tops start to turn too brown, I tent with foil or place a piece of parchment paper on top of them in the last 5-10 min. When done, let cool just long enough for you to remove from muffin tins and cool the rest of the way on wire rack. Cooling in the tins drys them out. Note: If you used regular large-sized muffin tins (12) instead of XL (6), cook for 15-20 min. Since this is the whole breakfast in my family and so good for you, I make XL-sized.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease or place paper muffin cups in a 12 cup muffin tin.
• Mix the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg together in a mixing bowl.
• Beat the canned pumpkin, eggs, butter, buttermilk, and vanilla together in another large mixing bowl. Gradually beat in the flour mixture until well blended. Stir in the dried cranberries until evenly blended. Spoon batter into muffin tins about 3/4 full.
• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. 3 minutes before turning out from pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
• Combine liquid ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
• Stir the liquid mixture into dry mixture just until all dry ingredients are moistened.
• Gently stir in cranberries.
• Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full.
• Bake 18 to 22 minutes, or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Check at 18 minutes for doneness.
• Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes.
• Serve warm or cold with butter and/or cream cheese.
• Note: Muffins can be prepared ahead and frozen.
• Reheat in microwave-one muffin on high for 30 to 45 seconds.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners.

• Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until mixed (the batter will not be smooth). Gently stir in fruit, if desired (see Cook's Note).
• Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins; fill the cups almost to the top. Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 18 minutes.
