For the Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour This gives the muffins a soft and tender crumb.

- 3/4 cup sugar Sweetens without overpowering the tart cranberries.
- 1/2 cup milk Keeps the muffins moist and fluffy.
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil Ensures a rich texture and prevents drying out.
- 2 teaspoons baking powder Provides the necessary lift for delightful muffins.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds a warm, inviting aroma to every bite.
How to Make Cranberry Muffins
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk them together until well blended.
Whisk the eggs, sugar, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smoothly combined.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, then add the fresh cranberries, mixing until evenly distributed.
Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool the muffins in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Optional: Drizzle with a little honey for added sweetness. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
