For the muffins, you’ll need all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, melted unsalted butter, yogurt, and an egg. Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another, then combine them gently. Fold in fresh cranberries and bake until golden brown for about 15-18 minutes.
If you like, you can add a hint of citrus with some orange, lemon, or lime zest, or sprinkle the tops with sparkling sugar for extra crunch. Using fresh cranberries ensures a tart flavor without making the muffins soggy. Remember not to overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
These Cranberry Muffins can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days or up to five days if chilled. They pair well with dishes like overnight oats, scrambled eggs, or crispy bacon for a delicious breakfast spread.
