Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick spray.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil, egg, cranberry sauce, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.

  6. If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar for a crunchy topping.

  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
