CRANBERRY OAT MUFFINS


Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add in milk, egg and vanilla and stir to combine. Note that the mixture will be lumpy.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and give it a couple stirs with a spatula. Do not fully combine. Then add in the cranberry sauce and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Divide batter evenly among the muffin liners. Fill each cup about ¾ full.
