Cranberry Lemon Muffins
Description
Cranberry Lemon Muffins start with a batter of flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, eggs, light cream, vegetable oil, and lemon zest. The combination of citrus zest and cranberries introduces a bright tartness alongside a sweet-dough base. Mixing the wet and dry ingredients, then folding in the cranberries, ensures even distribution of the fruit. The batter is portioned into paper liners and topped with coarse sugar before baking at 400°F until lightly golden and cooked through.
The resulting muffins exhibit a moist crumb with bursts of cranberry and a fresh lemon aroma, complemented by a thin, slightly crunchy sugary topping. These muffins pair well with coffee or tea and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
