I made these for our Farm Fair Culinary Competition two weeks ago. This won 1st Prize in the Breads/Muffins category. These were made with NJ grown cranberries. I froze them in November of last year for this competition. I thawed the berries before using. I hope you enjoy these yummy muffins! I am sure glad the judges did!

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, light
  • 1 cup milk

How To Make cranberry white chocolate muffins

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees Grease cupcake pans or line with cupcake papers. If using the tins only, grease well. Note: These tend to stick a bit due to the white chips.
  • Step 2
    Beat together the butter and sugars until creamy, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low, add the egg, the milk and vanilla until combined. DO NOT OVERMIX THE BATTER!
  • Step 3
    Combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the wet mixture just until combined.
  • Step 4
    By hand, fold in the the cranberries and white chips. Fill the muffin tins 3/4 full. Note: I used fresh, not frozen berries.
  • Step 5
    Bake at 400 degrees 18-20 minutes. Watch carefully as these will bake quickly and burn quickly due to the white chips.
  • Step 6
    Enjoy!
