Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams mincemeat
- 50 grams dried cranberries (optional)
- powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Set it aside to cool slightly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be a bit lumpy.
Fold the mincemeat and dried cranberries (if using) into the batter using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled muffins with powdered sugar for a festive touch before serving.
