Spiced Cranberry Muffins Food

SPICED APPLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Mix together sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and anise seeds.
• In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar mixture, salt, milk, and applesauce. Do not overbeat. Stir in diced apples. Spoon batter into 12 greased muffin cups.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Serve after muffins have cooled a bit, about 30 minutes.

PUMPKIN SPICE-CRANBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Combine the cranberries and orange juice in a small microwave safe bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and poke a small hole to vent. Microwave until the orange juice is warm, about 1 minute. Set aside to let the cranberries plump, about 5 minutes, then drain off the juice.
• Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
• Whisk together the butter, plumped cranberries, pumpkin puree, milk, eggs and orange zest in a large bowl. Add the flour-spice mixture to the pumpkin mixture and gently fold the batter together until it is just combined (it's ok if there are a few lumps).
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups and sprinkle the top of each muffin generously with the turbinado sugar. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 24 minutes. Cool the muffins in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

CRANBERRY CARDAMOM SPICE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, toss the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cardamom, cinnamon, and salt together. Set aside.
• In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the granulated sugar and beat on high until creamed, about 2 full minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute, then turn up to high speed until the mixture is combined and creamy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
• Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat on low speed until just about combined. Add the milk and orange zest and continue to beat on low until combined. Fold in the walnuts and cranberries.
• Spoon the batter evenly into each cup or liner, filling each all the way to the top. Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 425°F (218°C) then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for an additional 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total time these muffins take in the oven is about 22-23 minutes, give or take. Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack and drizzle with icing.
• Whisk the confectioners' sugar and orange juice together. Drizzle over muffins.
• Muffins stay fresh stored in the refrigerator for 1 week.

SPICED CRANBERRY MUFFINS AND CINNAMON HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a standard 12 cup muffin tin, or line with muffin liners.
• Place the fresh or frozen cranberries in a food processor and pulse a few times until the berries are coarsely chopped. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and spices.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the milk mixture. Stir a few times until batter begins to come together, then add the chopped cranberries. Stir just until combined, being careful not to over mix. Batter will be thick and lumpy, but should not be dry. Add an extra tablespoon (or two) of milk if batter seems too dry.
• Put about 1/3 cup muffin mix into each cup of prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle with coarse sugar (optional).
• Bake for approximately 15 minutes. When done, muffins will be lightly golden and spring back when touched.
• Remove immediately from pan and cool on wire rack.
• Stir all the ingredients together until smooth. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Grease three standard 12 cup muffin tins. Set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place oven rack in the center position.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, quick oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, and cardamom. Whisk until well sifted. Set aside.
• In another bowl, whisk the 4 eggs. Add the buttermilk, melted butter, and grated apples. Stir until combined.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the buttermilk mixture to the well and stir until moistened. Do not beat. Batter will be very thick. Once moistened, gently fold in the chopped cranberries.
• Divide the batter between the 36 prepared muffin cups. Cups should be 2/3 to 3/4 of the way full. If you aren't able to get a full 3 dozen out of the batter, don't worry. Just fill the empty cups halfway with water.
• Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 - 25 minutes (rotating half way through), or until done and golden on top.
• Let muffins cool for 5 minutes in their tins before removing to cook on a wire rack.

GLUTEN-FREE CRANBERRY SAUCE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Set the oven and prepare the pan(s). Preheat the oven to 400°F, adjust a rack to the top third of the oven. Use 16 paper muffin liners to line a standard-sized muffin pan (or pans). Alternately if your pans are non-stick, you can just lightly grease them with oil or butter (use a brush), or a non-stick spray.
• Combine dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
• Combine wet ingredients. In another large mixing bowl, use a whisk to blend the oil with the sugar. Once it's blended, whisk in the buttermilk and vanilla. Add the eggs and continue to whisk until it's very smooth.
• Combine wet with dry ingredients and add cranberry sauce. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well, and mix only until you no longer see dry spots. Mix the cranberry sauce well, so there aren't any large clumps. Then fold it into the batter. Mix just to combine. It's okay if the batter is somewhat streaked with it.
• Fill the pan(s). Fill the muffin pan(s) with the liners (or greased, non-stick) to the very top. Sprinkle each one with a little bit of the coarse sugar (or Sugar in the Raw). The muffins will rise a bit above the top rims, so whatever muffin pan you're using, use a brush or your finger to grease on top of the pan, around each top rim.
• Bake. Place in the preheated 400°F oven and bake until the tops are slightly golden and feel cooked through to the touch. (If you gently and lightly press your finger on top, it should feel a bit like a sponge.) The baking time is 20 to 25 minutes.
• Cool and serve. Let the muffins cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes. Then remove them and cool them on a baking rack for about at least another 10 minutes before serving.

SPICED CRANBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Generously butter or grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan and dust with flour, tapping out excess; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, toss cranberries with about 1 1/2 teaspoons flour mixture to lightly coat; set aside the flour mixture and the cranberries.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using a handheld mixer, beat butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the 2 eggs, one at a time, beating until combined. Add cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
• With the mixer on low speed, add reserved flour mixture, beating until just combined. Add milk and vanilla, beating until just combined. Do not overmix. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the cranberries. Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
• If desired, in a small bowl, mix together about a tablespoon of sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle sugar mixture on top of muffin batter.
• Bake, rotating pan halfway though, until muffins are golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center of one muffin comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
