How to Make Cranberry And Nut Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Generously grease a 12-cup large muffin tin or 16-cup medium muffin tin with butter.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup chopped cranberries with 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg. Add 1 cup milk and beat well. Stir in 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter or shortening.
  6. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until the dry ingredients are moistened. A few lumps are okay!
  7. Stir in the cranberry mixture, 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or a mix!), and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
  8. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool in the tin for a few minutes.
  11. Brush muffin tops with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  12. Sprinkle with coarse sugar or cinnamon sugar, if desired.
