Very Berry Cranberry Oatmeal Muffins


I decided to make muffins from the fresh cranberries left over after making Cranberry pickle (for recipe click here). The recipe is fairly simple and doesn't need a hand-mixer. The bursts of flavor from the tangy cranberries and sweet blueberries blended with oatmeal creates a perfect snack. You can substitute dried cranberries if you don't have fresh cranberries. Another option is to add walnuts which will enhance the flavor. Happy Snacking!

Ingredients:
1 cup Quick Oats 
1 Egg
1 tsp Vanilla 
1 tsp Salt 
2/3 cup Brown Sugar

1 tbsp Baking soda 
3/4 cup Fresh Cranberries 
3/4 cup fresh blueberries

2. Line a muffin pan with liners. 
3. In a medium sized bowl add milk, oil, egg, sugar and vanilla and whisk together. 
4. Add flour, baking soda, quick oats, salt and sugar in another bowl and whisk together. 
5. In a small bowl add 2 tbsp of flour, add the fresh cranberries and blueberries and toss until the berries are coated with flour. 
6. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with wet ingredients while whisking to ensure there are no lumps. 
7. Gently mix in the berries. 
8. Fill the batter into the muffin pans until its 3/4 full. 
9. Bake for 18-20 minutes. (Tip: the top must be golden brown and the toothpick comes out almost dry. 
10. Place muffin pan on cooling rack to cool. Remove muffins and serve.
