Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh cranberries, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Fold in the chopped fresh cranberries and dried cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the flour mixture. This helps prevent them from sinking in the batter while baking.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar, if desired, for a crunchy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
