Fresh Cranberry Muffins
Description
The Fresh Cranberry Muffins recipe combines standard muffin ingredients with fresh or frozen cranberries folded gently into the batter. The inclusion of baking powder and baking soda ensures proper rise and a soft crumb. Oil and milk provide moisture, and almond extract adds subtle flavor complexity that complements the tartness of cranberries.
Before baking, the batter is divided into a prepared muffin tin and optionally topped with sparkling sugar for a textured, slightly sweet crust. Baking at 350°F for approximately 25 minutes yields muffins that are risen with golden tops and tender interiors.
After baking, muffins are allowed to cool in the tin to set before removal, maintaining their shape and texture.
