These Winning Cranberry Muffins are great to make as a lunchbox treat when the kids go back to school. Cranberries are very sour to eat them on their own, but when they are baked into sweet treats, they bring a nice tart element. To remove some of the sourness from the cranberries in this recipe, I sprinkle them with sugar before mixing them into the muffin batter.
I start these muffins by sprinkling the cranberries with sugar and setting them to one side while I prepare the rest of the little cakes. Next I sift the dry ingredients together in one bowl and combine the wet ingredients in another. I mix both of these together and add the cranberries and some lemon zest. Bake in the oven for about 18 minutes and there you have it! Simple sweet treats your kids will adore!
To make Winning Cranberry Muffins, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease or line a 12 cup muffin tray with paper cups.
Place 1 cup of cranberries in a bowl with 2 tablespoons sugar. Mix well and leave to rest for a few minutes.
In a separate large bowl, sift 6 tablespoons of sugar, 1 ¾ cups of flour, 2 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt together.
In another large bowl, beat an egg with ¾ cup of milk and ⅓ cup of oil.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the milk and egg mixture and stir just until moistened.
Add the cranberries and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest.
Spoon the muffin mixture into the paper cups.
Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with cinnamon sugar.
Bake for 18 minutes. Once cooked, transfer to a wire rack.
Serve these muffins as a healthy school snack.
