Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease the muffin cups lightly with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped walnuts to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Sprinkle the cooled muffins with powdered sugar for a festive touch before serving.
Serve these Mini Holiday Muffins as part of a holiday brunch spread, or pack them as gifts for friends and family. Enjoy!
