Two days ago, I posted about a recipe for an All-Star Muffin Mix that I found in Taste of Home’s Simple and Delicious magazine. One of the add-ins I used in the muffin mix was dried cranberries and pecan pieces. The original recipe called for either fresh or frozen cranberries. Even though I didn’t have either in the house, I had Craisins, so I used those instead.
After I baked a batch of those, I flash-froze them and then put them in freezer bags for later use. These are great for quick breakfasts, which I will need when school starts in a week and a half. I just put one in the microwave for a minute on 40% power. They are especially great with a cup of coffee.
Stars of the recipe:
- 2 and 3/4 cups of All-Star Muffin Mix
- 1 cup chopped fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 3 tablespoons sugar
I omitted the sugar when I used the Craisins.
Steps:
- Mix muffin mix, cranberries, pecans, and sugar in a large bowl.
- Whisk the egg, milk, and butter; stir into dry ingredients until moistened.
- Fill paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full.
- Bake at 400° for 18-21 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
- Serve warm.

The basic muffin sounds easy enough… but with cranberries and pecans sounds amazing!! ~Alison
