Cranberry Orange Muffins
This muffin is a delight with breakfast or brunch, with fruit, fruit juice, tea or coffee. It’s easy to make because all the ingredients for the muffin itself are in your favorite Bisquic or Jiffy pancake mix.
Lets get started
Review the instructions on the side of your muffin mix box. Follow the instructions for making them with one exception. Decrease the amount of water by ¼ cup to compensate for the orange juice. After making basic muffins with your preferred pancake mix, fold in ¼ cup of dried cranberries and ¼ cup of orange juice. Now make your crumb topping.
Crumb topping ingredients:
You need 1/3 cup of regular flour
2 tablespoons of cold butter
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
¼ teaspoon of vanilla
1/3 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions:
Put all ingredients in a small bowl and mix them together with a fork. Mix all ingredients until the consistence is that of crumbs. Put the topping on the muffins just before they go in the oven.
For best results let the muffins sit in the pan with the topping on for 3 minutes before putting them in the oven. This will give you a higher rise and a lighter muffin. If you forgot to preheat the oven, now is a good time to do it.Substitutions:
This muffin recipe works well with blueberries, dried apples, dried apricots and other similar dried fruits, but do not add the orange juice to these variations. That’s just nasty. You wont’ like it so don’t do it.
