Cranberry Sauce Muffins

Posted at Foodie Friday



Got leftover cranberry sauce? I have some of the delicious cranberry sauce I made for Thanksgiving from a Smitten Kitchen recipe left over. Or at least I did have, This evening I decided to bake it into some muffins. As if I haven't eaten enough sweet things these past few days, what with pumpkin muffins yesterday morning and pumpkin cheesecake made by one of my husbands friends last night. I can't help it, I have such a sweet tooth.


Recipe makes 12 muffins.

Ingredients
1 cup flour
1/2 cup whole-grain wheat flour
1 cup oats
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups of leftover cranberry sauce
1/2 cup skim milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg





1. Heat oven to 400°F. Line muffin tin with paper baking cups.
2. In a large bowl, combine regular flour, whole-grain flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt; mix well. In medium bowl, combine milk, oil, cranberry sauce and egg; blend well. Fold into dry ingredients all at once; stir until dry ingredients are moistened.
3. Fill muffin cups about three-quarters full, sprinkle a little extra sugar and/or cinnamon on the top of each.
4. Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until golden brown 
5.  Remove from oven and let stand in tin for 5 minutes, then remove muffins from tin and place onto a cooling rack.
6. Wait until cooled or eat warm! Who has time to wait for muffins to cool? Not me!

I am a 24 year old British stay at home mother to a two year old boy. Married to a U.S. soldier and currently living in Germany.

I have seen the Vatican from the very top of St Peter's Basilica, the mud in the World War I trenches outside Ypres. I have walked through Montmartre side streets bustling with people in the evening, gotten lost in the streets of Greenwich Village NYC, run through cornfields on the Welsh border and sat outside with a cup of tea watching fireflies in the fields of the outer Chicago suburbs.

I have held the hands of others through addiction, fear, suicide, despair and come out the other side. I have left everything behind to begin anew.
I have fought mental illness and walked through snow in the mountains of the lake district, England. I have explored the morgue in the bowels of an abandoned hospital on a summer evening, climbed to the top of scaffolding on the outside of a five floor warehouse to look at the city lights of Nottingham at night and I have watched the sun setting on the Texas horizon.

I have held my son's tiny hand through the plastic window on an isolette in the NICU ward. Walked, speaking only in whispers, through the catacombs beneath the ground on the outskirts of Rome and seen the fireworks over Heidelberg castle.
