How to Make Holiday Surprise Muffins
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin.
- In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in ⅓ cup molasses and 2 large eggs until well combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1 cup buttermilk. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ¼ teaspoon ground allspice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fill each muffin cup about halfway full with batter.
- Spoon 1 teaspoon of whole cranberry sauce into the center of each muffin.
- Top with the remaining batter.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
