Baking ~ Cranberry Muffins

Awaken at 530 in the morning by my little boy asking for my milk. Ya.... my 35 months little boy still breastfeeding. Aih... Since woke up, let's bake some fresh muffins for my family breakfast. Checked in the fridge... Checked what was available?? chocolate? hmm.... only my big boy like it, I do not like chocolate. Hmmm...  Cranberry! My favourite!!! OK, let's bake ~ Cranberry Muffins!



I ate three right after the photo taken, this cool boys were super moist! Add on with my favourite cranberry, Mmmmm..... superb!!! Had them together with a hot coffee, enjoying the morning breeze, sitting at the balcony, watching the moon, awaiting for the sunrise. Wow... Nice morning! All of lovers were still sleeping!

As a mom of two, I mainly baking for kids, so I try not to use too much of chemicals and artificial ingredients, but organic raw materials instead. My cooking and baking always low in sugar, oil and salt. My kids have same taste bud as me too, they do not like sweet as well. If you are following my recipe and like the sweet taste, better add on some sugar (maybe around 30g - 50g).

As usual, most of the recipes on always start with ~ preheat the oven. But for me, I am a bit s~l~o~w, so I would like to take out all the ingredients, cool down to room temperature (if necessary) then measure the quantity as required first. After all these are done, then only I preheat my oven.

 Cranberry Muffins
Dry Ingredients:
2 ½ cups (320g) self-raising flour
130g granulated sugar
¼ tsp salt
Zest of 1 lemon
Wet Ingredients:
1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
120ml oil
1 large egg
1 cup Cranberries
 (bake 12 muffins)

  1. In a bigger bowl, mixed well the dry ingredients.
  2. In another bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients.  MUST mixed well!
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into dry ingredients, gently fold in till moist, do not over mixed.

I had tried a few time to find out the best temperature and duration for my oven before I get the BEST results. The best for my cheap oven is 160oC for 25-30 minutes. How about yours???


~Happy Baking~
