Cranberry Muffins Recipe

Cranberry Muffins

There’s nothing like a hot, buttered muffin fresh out of the oven to start your day off right! Muffins from scratch are a lot faster to make than you might think. I always like to switch things up, and I had inspiration for a cranberry muffin recipe that I wanted to create. So this morning, I pulled out one of my vintage cookbooks, Favorite Recipes of America: Desserts from 1968. This cookbook has a neat collection of recipes from state fair winners and other amateur cooks around the country. The muffin recipe I chose as a base to adapt was called “Yummy Nut Muffins” by Ann Denise Kirking of the Dane Country Fair. I changed her recipe so much as to be pretty much unrecognizable, but it provided me a good base to know the ratio of flour, eggs and other ingredients to use.

What resulted was a delicious muffin with healthier ingredients. Where the original recipe called for 1/4 cup of melted fat, I used applesauce; I also substituted Egg Beaters for a whole egg, soy milk for whole milk, and used Truvia Baking Blend, which cuts out 75% of the calories you’d get using regular sugar. But as Jai said, it doesn’t taste like anything has been cut out because it’s very yummy!

Cranberry Muffins

Ingredients:

2 C all purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
2 TBSP Truvia Baking Blend
1/4 C Egg Beaters
1 C organic vanilla soy milk
1/4 C unsweetened applesauce
1/2 C dried cranberries

Directions:

Add all ingredients to a large bowl, then beat with a hand mixer until combined – roughly 1 minute.

Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Put liners in a muffin/cupcake pan, and divide the batter evenly between each one – each muffin liner will be around two-thirds full of batter.

Bake the muffins until done – between 15 and 20 minutes. I pulled mine out at the 20 minute mark and they were a little overdone, sticking to the liners, so I won’t cook mine as long next time; since this recipe has applesauce in it, they are moist even when done, so bear that in mind when testing them. Makes 12 muffins.
