1 Video | Photo: Cranberry Harvest Muffins Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 2 extra-large eggs
- 1/2 pound unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped fresh cranberries
- 1/2 cup medium-diced Calimyrna figs
- 3/4 cup coarsely chopped hazelnuts, toasted and skinned
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Stir quickly just to combine. Add the cranberries, figs, hazelnuts, and both sugars and stir just to distribute the fruits, nuts, and sugar evenly throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter into the paper liners, filling each one to the top. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until browned on the top and a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean.

Excellent recipe. Easy and delicious. I have made these exactly as the recipe lists and I have made these with three modifications. 1st, I used pecans because that's what I had on-hand. 2nd, I substituted 1/2 my butter w/coconut oil in baking. 3rd, I used 1/2 cup mashed, ripe banana for the figs. Both recipes were great! I live at 5,000 ft elevation (which affects baking. The only difference I found for my elevation is that I could fill the muffin cups entirely and only needed to bake them for 20 minutes.

Super easy & oh so good! Only switch I made was using pecans instead of hazelnuts because I couldn't find hazelnuts in my local grocery store. One of the best & easiest muffin recipes to date. Not quite sure why its ranked as intermediate. Will definitely make this again!!!

Made these on Christmas morning and they were incredible! I thought this would be a special Christmas treat, but are simple enough for any time. I substituted pecans for the hazelnuts.
