Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, roughly chopped
• 2 tablespoons optional: coarse sugar for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the muffin cups well.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the sour cream, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped cranberries to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top of each muffin for extra crunch and sweetness.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
