Cranberry & Cinnamon Muffins

Another day, another post, another great recipe with cranberries to inspire you for Christmas.

This time I made muffins with fresh cranberries, cinnamon and clementine juice. All these flavors are simply delicious and soo good for winter.

These muffins really made my morning. I had two of them with a nice winter flavored cup of tea.

Hope this recipe will inspire you and you'll bake them these days ;)

Here is the recipe that I found and adapted to my very personal taste ;)

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups raw cranberries
• 1/2 cup caster sugar
• 3 tbsp butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 and 1/2 cups Greek Yogurt
• 2 eggs
• 2 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• juice from 2 clementines

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 200 C and prepare you  muffin tin.

Put the cranberries in a saucepan along with caster sugar, cinnamon and juice. Cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until the berries burst and the sugar is dissolved. This takes approximately 3-6 minutes depending on your stove.

Combine the dry ingredients and set aside.

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs.

Beat in yogurt until smooth.
Stir in half of the dry ingredients to the wet.
Add the cooked cranberries.

Spoon the batter into muffin tin.

Bake for 30-45 minutes or until the top is well browned and the center when pricked with a toothpick comes out clean.Turn out into a rack to cool.
