Cranberry Orange Muffins – River Bend Farm

I make the batter and then pour it into baking cups (and in 2019) into baking pan tin of 6 and freeze them.  Then the next morning, set oven to 450 degrees and bake for 19 minutes, if frozen; 14 minutes if batter is fresh.

 

 

 

 

 

INGREDIENTS

12 ounces fresh cranberries, washed then 1/2 bag chop in Cuisinart, second 1/2 left whole

2 cups Buttermilk

2 tangerines, peel the skin and mince the rind
1-1/4 cups bran flakes cereal
2-1/2 cups flour
1-1/2 cups sugar
2-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1/2 cup veggie oil
dash of salt (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a colander, wash and pick through the cranberries.  Take half and chop in Cuisinart, leave other 6 oz whole
  • Combine the cereal, flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  • In a Kitchen Aid mixer with whisk attachment, whisk the eggs with the buttermilk, veggie oil and orange rind.
  • Add the cranberries, whole and chopped into the egg mixture.
  • Change attachment to paddle.
  • Add the cereal-flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir to moisten.
  • Fill greased or paper-lined muffin tins two-thirds full
  • Bake in a preheated 450˚F oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 14 minutes.  If batter is frozen, bake for 19 minutes.

The batter will keep in the refrigerator for two or three days.
