Cranberry Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake Muffins

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! You know the time of year with all the music, lights, trees, acts of kindness and giving, nativity scenes, kids’ programs, family, and of course the wonderful food and treats. If you are still working on your Christmas menus, I am here to help with this most wonderful muffin recipe, a perfect addition to your Christmas morning breakfast.

I made these and just knew I needed to share them. The fresh cranberries add a fresh and tart flavour that goes so well with the sweet crumb mixture and, of course, chocolate chips! If you want to leave the chocolate chips out of this recipe, that would be very possible, and they would still be very delicious.

When making a cake or muffin of any kind, I always like to check the recipes to see what kind of moist makers they have in them. The combination of sour cream and cranberries in these makes for a perfectly textured muffin. Remember, as with all muffins, do not over mix.

Start by mixing the streusel topping together. For this, you just need to melt the butter and then mix it with the dry ingredients (brown sugar, white sugar, salt, cinnamon, and flour).

Next mix the oil with sugar and salt. Once combined, add in a beaten egg. Then add sour cream and vanilla. Mix until everything is incorporated.

Measure and mix the cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.

Fold in the cranberries and chocolate chips.

Then take your muffin tins, and using either muffin liners or a greased tin, fill half the muffin cup with the cranberry batter. Next add some streusel topping. Top with another layer of cranberry batter, followed by some more streusel on top.

Bake for 19-22 minutes at 375°F.

These will be sure to impress!
