cranberry muffins

Warm, soft, and fluffy cranberry cardamom spice muffins ready in 35 minutes!

Cranberry Cardamom Spice Muffins

baking soda

baking powder

cardamom

cinnamon

salt

sugar

eggs,

(120 grams) sour cream

vanilla extract

(80 milliliters) milk

orange

(63 grams) chopped walnuts

(120 grams) confectioners’ sugar

juice of 1 orange (about 3 Tablespoons)

Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners. Set aside.

Make the muffins

 In a large bowl, toss the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cardamom, cinnamon, and salt together. Set aside.

In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the granulated sugar and beat on high until creamed, about 2 full minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute, then turn up to high speed until the mixture is combined and creamy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat on low speed until just about combined. Add the milk and orange zest and continue to beat on low until combined. Fold in the walnuts and cranberries.

Spoon the batter evenly into each cup or liner, filling each all the way to the top. Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 425°F (218°C) then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for an additional 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total time these muffins take in the oven is about 22-23 minutes, give or take. Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack and drizzle with icing.

For the icing

 Whisk the confectioners&#8217; sugar and orange juice together. Drizzle over muffins.

Muffins stay fresh stored in the refrigerator for 1 week.

The. Best. Muffin. I've. Ever. Had.  OMG!!!   Here at my computer in the evening and can not wait for breakfast tomorrow so I can have another one.  I substituted Greek yogurt for the sour cream and 1 cup dried cranberries instead of fresh or frozen, because that's what I had at hand, and didn't glaze them since the dried cranberries are sweet.  Totally fabulous, thank you Sally!

Delicious muffins! I will be making these again!

Nom!! Moooannn. These are amazing! So tender and just the right amount of tart. The temperature change to “pop” the muffin tops is brilliant. I used Skyr yogurt because I didn’t have sour cream. Definitely making these again!

If I wanted to make min-muffins, do I need to reduce the amount of time they’re in at 425? Or keep it to 5 minutes. 

Thanks!

An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches. An egg results from fertilization of an ovum. Most arthropods, vertebrates, and mollusks lay eggs, although some do not, such as scorpions and most mammals. Reproductive structures...

Vanilla extract is a solution containing the flavor compound vanillin as the primary ingredient. Pure vanilla extract is made by macerating and percolating vanilla pods in a solution of ethyl alcohol and water. In the United States, in order for a vanilla extract to be called pure, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires that...

vanilla bean extract

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Add flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder to a large bowl. Whisk to combine.

Measure milk in a large liquid measuring cup. Add butter, egg, yogurt and vanilla. Whisk to combine.

Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingreidents. Use a spatula to gently combine all the ingredients together until no dry ingredients remain. Add cranberries, gently fold them into the batter.

Fill the muffins tins 3/4 full. (You may have some leftover batter, if so, you can toss or make another muffin later.) Bake until golden brown, about 15-18 minutes. They are ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Remove from the muffin tin and cool on a cooling rack.

A little savory, sweet, AND tart, these healthy, low-fat, vegan cranberry corn muffins have cranberry sauce hidden in the middle so you get a burst of fresh cranberry in every bite! Very easy to prepare, these festive cornbread muffins are oil-free, nut-free, and easily made gluten-free.

Vegan Cranberry Cornbread Muffins (Oil-Free; GF Option)

cornmeal

all-purpose

fine sea salt

soy milk (see Notes.)

apple cider vinegar

apple sauce

cranberries, halved (fresh or frozen and thawed.)

Prep

First, head over to this cranberry sauce recipe and make a batch (or a half batch if you don&#39;t want much leftover).

Preheat

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 C), and lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin pan with oil or use muffin liners.

In a mixing bowl whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl whisk together the milk, vinegar, maple syrup, and apple sauce. Pour wet ingredients into dry, and stir to combine. Fold in the halved cranberries, reserving a palmful for decorating the tops of the muffins.

Prepare

Spoon enough batter into each muffin cup to cover the bottoms. Then place about 1 ½ teaspoons of cranberry sauce in the center of each one. Evenly divide the remaining batter among the muffin pan so that the cranberry sauce is fully enclosed. Press the reserved cranberries into the tops of any muffins that look like they need a little color.

Bake

Bake for 17 to 19 minutes or until the centers are firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.

These are the bomb! My partner and I are digital nomads, heading back on the road in just a few days. I needed to use up some staples I had bought for our 2 month stay in Asheville, and had a simultaneous craving for cornbread. I found your recipe and ... woah! It checked all my boxes. Coarse-ground cornmeal shines in these little jewels!

I made some alterations based on what I had on hand: I halved the recipe. I did not use the cranberries. (Don't be sad. It's great to know how versatile these babies are!) I did use the almond milk substitution and only about a fourth of the maple syrup. 

I baked them in one of those cheap 6-cup aluminum pans you buy at the grocery store. Because of this, I feared they would stick, even with cooking spray, but they slid right out, perfectly intact! No egg? Who knew!

I also love, love, love your suggestion of jalapeno. You can bet I'll be making these again and will give that a try. FanTAStic recipe!

I made these for Thanksgiving and they were tremendous! I'm serving them for Christmas too! Thanks for so many gluten-free recipes! I come to your website often--for inspiration and great recipes!

Made these today. Absolutely delicious and something I would have never thought to put together.

A Cranberry Orange Muffin recipe features the flavors of fall fruit and is quickly made featuring fresh or frozen cranberries and orange zest.  A great recipe for beginner bakers. 

A Cranberry Orange Muffin

oz fresh cranberries, fresh or frozen (340 grams)

butter, softened (114 gram, 4 ounces or 1 stick)

orange zest

Sanding sugar

Freeze the cranberries hard. 

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line muffin cups with paper liners or spray them well.

Cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. 

Add the vanilla and almond extracts as well as the grated orange rind, mixing in completely.

Scrape down and add the eggs one at a time.  Beat until light and completely combined.  

In the meantime, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.  Mix together.  

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt.

Add the flour and milk alternately, starting and ending with the flour in thirds and the milk twice.  

Last, place the cranberries in a food processor and pulse to coarsely chop.  Add to the batter and mix in just until well combined.  The batter will be stiff at this point because the cranberries are frozen.

Fill the cups 3/4 full.  This applies to whatever size you are using.

Sprinkle the tops liberally with the sugar/nutmeg mix. 

Regular size muffins – bake  24 to 26 minutes – makes about 20 muffins

Mini size muffins - bake 117 to 20 minutes - makes about 40

Texas size muffins - bake 27 to 30 minutes - makes about 10 to 12

Helen, I made these muffins today...they aren't as brown as yours after 26 minutes so my oven must be different. But I sampled one and they were delicious, not overly sweet.  I did have a problem with my Cuisinart when I put all the frozen berries in together to be chopped.  The blade kept popping off so I ended up doing them in two batches.  I might let the berries sit on the counter for 5 minutes next time and see if that helps.  Thanks for another great recipe.

These tender Keto Cranberry have a light fluffy crumb that is bursting with fresh cranberries. They’re easy to make and perfect for quick breakfasts or snacks.

Keto Cranberry Muffin Recipe

sour cream

almond flour

Swerve Sweetener

pecans (optional)

Preheat the oven to 325ºF and line a muffin tin with parchment or silicone liners.

Combine the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large blender jar. Blend about 30 seconds.

Add the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Blend again until smooth, about 30 seconds to a minute. If your batter is overly thick, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to thin it out (different brands of almond flour can vary).

By hand, stir in cranberries, keeping a few for the top of the muffins, and chopped pecans if using.

Divide the mixture among the prepared muffin cups and bake 25 to 30 minutes, until just golden brown and firm to the touch.

Remove and let cool completely.

I've made these several times and love them!  I also hoard cranberries.  I get panicky if I think they may not lasBt the year!!

Delish!  I have used other berries also. Today I am trying this with walnut flour. Seems to require more sweetener. 9/23/24

These are the best cranberry keto muffins.  I add orange zest and a little juice (obviously increasing the carbs) and it makes them even better.  I'm more concerned with it being a delicious gluten free muffin than being keto.  Other recipes that call for coconut flour just aren't as good as this one.

These were delicious and tender.❤️I had a brain fart and put all the ingredients in my ninja instead of stirring in the nuts and berries but they still rose and tasted great.😂

This is the easiest almond-flour muffin recipe I've ever made. And, they taste delicious! They work with either fresh or dried cranberries (which I used). The sour cream really makes a difference; they were not crumbling everywhere and had just the right amount of "give" in every bite (if that makes sense).

They even remain semi-moist after a day or two (I do recommend storing them in the fridge after they cool). 

Give these a try - you will NOT be disappointed!
