Muffins
1/2
cup canola oil
1
cup granulated sugar
1
cup sour cream
1
teaspoon vanilla
2
eggs
2
cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
2
teaspoons baking powder

Streusel Topping
1
tablespoon Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
1
tablespoon quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats

  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups.
  2. In large bowl, beat granulate sugar and oil with electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Add sour cream, vanilla and eggs; beat on low speed until well combined.
  3. In medium bowl, stir together 2 cups flour, the baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon with mixer running on low speed, gradually beat in flour mixture until combined.
  4. Fill each muffin cup with 1 heaping tablespoon batter. Top each with 1 tablespoon cranberry sauce. Divide remaining batter evenly among muffin cups, covering cranberry sauce (no need to completely cover).

  6. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm or cooled.

Another test for doneness is to touch the tops of the muffins. If the tops spring back when touched lightly in the center, the muffins are done.
If you like streusel overload on your muffins, double the streusel portion of the recipe.
