Scrumptious, soft muffins made with fresh cranberries and white chocolate chips. These tasty muffins are also topped with sweet cranberry streusel.

I hope you are having a nice holiday season because over here, my head is spinning. Seems like between family craziness, work craziness, school craziness, looking for a new house, and my little man starting a new school, I’m pulled in a hundred different directions. I can’t wait to get a little break, which I’m hoping will come soon, very soon. Meanwhile, an afternoon coffee break is a must, I can’t survive the day without a couple of cups of coffee. You know what goes great with coffee? Muffins! It’s been a while since I had a homemade, fresh-from-the-oven muffin.

Little man dug up a bag of cranberries that I had in a fridge and was begging for me to open them so he could eat them. Hmmm, I guess he never actually had a fresh cranberry without it being in a baked treat or sweetened in any way. I gave him a couple of chances to back out but he was very much set of having some cranberries. So I gave him one to try and he looked at me like I was “Scrooge McDuck.” I told him that he could have more if he wanted but he should start with one. He didn’t need any more…

So instead, I offered to bake some muffins with cranberries and throw on some streusel since he was still a little hesitant after the fresh cranberry taste. Streusel always sweetens the deal. I threw in some minced dried cranberries into streusel too. Muffins came out awesome and that streusel definitely put them over the top.

I got inspired to make some cranberry white chocolate chip muffins after having my morning coffee with White Chocolate Raspberry International Delight creamer. It’s one of my favorite flavor combinations and I wanted to make the muffins a little more festive by using cranberries. Although, whole raspberries can definitely be substituted here.

Ingredients

  • Muffins:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 4 Tbsp melted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup of whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Dash of salt
  • 1 1/4 cup fresh whole cranberries
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • Streusel:
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp white sugar
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp melted butter
  • 2/3 cup dried cranberries minced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a muffin pan with some baking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk egg, sugar, melted butter, sour cream, vanilla and milk.
  • Sift in flour, salt and baking powder. Whisk together until smooth.
  • Fold in cranberries and white chocolate chips.
  • Fill the muffin pan cups ¾ full with muffin batter and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, white sugar and flour. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated evenly.
  • Pour in melted butter and carefully fold it in with a large fork. You will want to be careful so you don't over-mix. Streusel should look like large crumbs and not paste.
  • Fold in minced, dried cranberries into streusel crumbs.
  • Sprinkle about two tablespoons of streusel on top of each muffin.
  • Bake for 27-30 minutes (Do a toothpick test to check if they are done. Tip: insert the toothpick in the batter part and try not to hit a cranberry).

      I haven’t tried baking with frozen cranberries but I don’t see why not. Just let them defrost first and make sure there is no extra liquids when you’re adding the cranberries. Fold them gently.
      I hope you enjoy it!

    Quite literally THE BEST muffins I’ve ever had. My daughter didn’t like the cranberry so I changed it out (after I made the cran &what choc) for just chic chips. Delish!
