Delicious Cranberry Almond Muffins Recipe for Breakfast

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup sliced almonds (toasted if desired)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk (or almond milk)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup honey (optional for sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal (optional for health benefits)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

    Make sure the oven is completely preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

    Whisk thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract.

    Ensure the wet ingredients are well combined before mixing.
  4. Blend Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

    Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
  5. Add Cranberries and Almonds

    Gently fold in the cranberries and sliced almonds into the batter.

    Reserve some almonds for topping if desired.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin

    Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

    Use an ice cream scoop for even portions.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Check for doneness a few minutes before the timer goes off.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    Serve warm for the best flavor.
