Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granola (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or cashews)
- 0.25 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granola, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs and whisk in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the dried cranberries, chopped nuts, and optional chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
