Winning Cranberry Muffins
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!
