Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line it with mini cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Use a small spoon or cookie scoop to evenly distribute the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 14-16 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 before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the tops of the cooled muffins with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy your delicious miniature cranberry muffins!
