Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Eggnog
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen cranberries (coarsely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg, eggnog, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the chopped cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the tops of the cooled muffins with powdered sugar for a festive touch before serving.
