Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the flour and sugar thoroughly. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth, then add them to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Cranberry Sauce: Carefully fold the cranberry sauce into the batter, spreading it evenly without overworking the mixture to maintain a tender muffin texture.
- Bake the Muffins: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased or lined muffin tin, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are lightly golden.
Notes
- For best results, use homemade or high-quality cranberry sauce.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
- Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to enhance flavor.
