Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Line 12 regular-size muffin cups with paper baking cups.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. In small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons flour mixture and the cranberries; set aside.
  • 3
    In medium bowl, beat egg with wire whisk until blended. Beat in milk and oil.
  • 4
    Make a well in center of dry ingredients. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened (batter will be thin). Stir in cranberries and pecans. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
  • 5
    Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until lightly browned and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 1 minute; remove from pan to cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Serve with Honey Butter made by combining 1/2 cup softened butter with 1/3 cup honey.
  • tip 2
    Tossing the cranberries with the dry ingredients prevents them from clumping in the batter and keeps them evenly distributed in the muffins.
