Cantaberry Crumble Top Muffins Recipes

CRANBERRY-CITRUS MUFFIN TOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and adjust 2 oven racks to the top and bottom halves of the oven. Line 2 baking sheets with greased parchment paper.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda together in a medium bowl.
• Whisk the buttermilk, orange zest, vanilla and egg together in a separate bowl. Toss the cranberries with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the sugar.
• Beat the butter and remaining 1/2 cup sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes (or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer), scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Adjust the speed to low and add the dry and wet mixtures in alternating batches until just combined. Add the cranberries and fold in using a spatula.
• Spray a 1/4 measuring cup lightly with pan spray. Scoop a level 1/4 cup of batter and scrape out with a rubber spatula onto the baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining batter, spacing the muffin tops about 2 inches apart. Pat the dough into rounded mounds using wet or greased hands. Chill 30 minutes.
• Bake until the muffin tops are slightly golden and can be easily lifted from the baking sheets with a spatula, 18 to 20 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on these and rotate the baking sheets top to bottom about every 5 minutes or as needed to ensure even baking.
• Let cool in the pan 3 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack until cool to the touch. Stir together the confectioners' sugar and orange juice and drizzle over the muffin tops.

CRANBERRY CRUMB MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
• Prepare the crumb mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter, and stir to combine.
• Prepare the muffins: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the cranberries and pecans, and gently toss to combine.
• In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and the milk. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
• Fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Fold in the sour cream mixture. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups. Squeeze the crumb mixture to create clumps of varying size, and sprinkle evenly over the tops. (It's OK if some of the crumb mixture lands on the tray.)
• Bake the muffins until they are puffed and set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 26 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

CANTALOUPE CRANBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• drain the cantaloupe pulp well before measuring out the 1/2 cup, it should not have any visible watery liquid.
• mix with the sugar, egg, yogurt, ginger and cinnamon and combine thoroughly.
• add cranberries.
• incorporate flours and baking powder only until moistened.
• fill muffin tin cups (sprayed with cooking spray)with 1/4 cup of mixture.
• add 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of Granola to the top of each muffin.
• bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

SUMMER FRUIT CRUMBLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Beat 100g of the butter and the caster sugar together using an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, beat for 1 min, then mix in the yogurt, vanilla and milk. Combine 250g of the flour with the baking powder and bicarb in a bowl with ¼ tsp salt, then stir this into the wet ingredients.
• Spoon 2 tbsp of the batter into each paper case. Gently push two raspberries each into four of the cases, two or three blackberries into another four and a large spoonful of chopped peaches into the final four. Divide the rest of the batter between the cases, spooning it over the fruit, then top with more berries or peaches, to match the filling.
• Mix the remaining 50g flour and 25g butter together with your fingers until the mixture clumps together in small chunks, then stir in the demerara sugar. Sprinkle a little of the crumble mixture over each muffin, then bake for 22-25 mins until risen, golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then carefully lift out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Will keep for three days in an airtight container.

CRUMB-TOPPED BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine the eggs, milk, orange zest and extracts; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Gently fold in blueberries (batter will be stiff)., Fill paper-lined or greased muffin cups two-thirds full. In a another large bowl, combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoonful over each muffin. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
