Cranberry Muffins

Cranberry Muffins

1½ cups flour
1 cup fresh/frozen cranberries
¾ cup sugar, divided
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 egg, slightly beaten 
¾ cup milk
¼ cup vegetable oil


Preheat oven to 400°.  Lightly grease muffin pan, or spray with cooking oil.

In medium bowl, combine flour, 2/3 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.  Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

Combine eggs, milk, and vegetable oil and pour all at once in the center of the dry ingredients.  Mix just until moistened.  Batter will be lumpy.  Fold in cranberries.

Spoon into muffin tins; I use a large ice cream scoop to make all tins consistent.  Sprinkle remaining sugar over top of each muffin and bake 15-18 minutes or until golden.  Cool on wire rack 5 minutes and remove from tins.
