Cranberry Pecan Muffins
Adapted from In the Kitchen class at the Brentwood Library, Maria Sochor, instructor
2 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Combine ingredients in a 32 oz. jar. Tie a ribbon around the jar's neck along with the instructions.
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin, or place a paper liner in each opening. Pour contents of jar into a medium bowl. Stir in 1/3 cup vegetable/canola oil, 1 1/2 cups milk, and 1 tsp. vanilla extract. Beat by hand until barely mixed, about 15 strokes. Batter should be barely pourable; add additional milk if necessary. Spoon batter into muffin tin and bake until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes in tin, then remove and transfer muffins to cooling rack.
