Author:
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups flour (I used 1 cup white flour, ½ cup whole wheat flour)
  • ½ cup wheat germ
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • 1 tsp grated orange zest
  • ½ cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 large eggs
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Combine flour and next 7 ingredients (through nutmeg) in a large bowl, stir with a whisk.  Make a well in the center of the mixture.
  3. Combine brown sugar, oil, zest, juice and eggs, stir with a whisk.  Pour egg mixture into the well in the dry mixture, stirring until just combined.  Spoon batter into muffin cups.
  4. Cranberry Butter:
  5. Combine ½ stick of room temperature butter with roughly 4 tablespoons of cranberry preserves.  Mix until well combined.  If you prefer the cranberry butter to have a more cranberry flavor, then feel free to add more preserves.  Alternatively, use less if you choose.
