Mix-ins

Instructions

To Make the Muffin Mix

  • Fill a wide-mouth quart jar with all of the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, dried cranberries, and white chocolate.
    I like to fill them in this order to show the separation.
  • Close the jar and attach a tag with ribbon or twine.

To Bake Cranberry White Chocolate Muffins

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a muffin pan with paper muffin liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients thoroughly.
    1/2 cup melted coconut oil, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, 2 eggs
  • Dump in the contents of the jar, then whisk or fold until just incorporated.
    2 cups all purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 cup white sugar
  • Distribute the muffin batter evenly across the muffin liners, then bake for 15 minutes. Then, drop to 350F for 10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
    (This will help prevent the white chocolate chips from browning too much on top of the muffins while still getting a nice, tall rise.)
  • Allow the muffins to cool for about 5 minutes in the pan then transfer the warm muffins to a wire rack to cool all the way.
  • Serve and enjoy!
