Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cups Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 0.75 cups Cranberries (fresh or dried)
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Optional coarse sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix the wet ingredients: melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 5

Carefully fold in the blueberries and cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Optionally, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar for an extra crunch and visual appeal.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
