Glenda, this post is for you.
I’m not sure I’m ready to share this recipe yet, because I’m still playing with it, but go ahead and try it – it’s good!
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole fresh cranberries
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup soy milk
- 1/4 cup Earth Balance, melted (this is a butter substitute, so you can use real butter)
- 1/2 cup drained crushed pineapple
- 1 cup spelt flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
Process
Mix the cranberries, egg, milk, Earth Balance, and pineapple together in a large bowl. In another bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture – just to get it all moistened. Spoon the batter into greased muffin tins. You can sprinkle the tops with brown sugar if you choose.
Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes – until they’re done. You know the drill: toothpick it.
Tips
- Buy lots of cranberries while they’re in-season during November, and freeze them so you can enjoy them year-round.
- A whisk is a great tool to use for sifting dry ingredients together.
