Cranberry Muffins

I thought it appropriate that, for post number 99, I should throw a recipe out there. After all, this site’s about not being able to bake things as often as we’d like, at least in part. So, without further ado, and for Writegrrrl because of the loss of her email:

Cranberry Muffins:

  • 1C Xylitol
  • 2C Sugar
  • 6C White Whole Wheat Flour (King Arthur), Sifted
  • 2/3C Flaxseed, Ground
  • 3C Water
  • 1 Orange’s Zest, finely chopped
  • 1 Orange’s Juice
  • 1 Tbsp Vanilla
  • 2 Packages Cranberries
  • 1C Candied Ginger, Chopped
  • 5 Cloves
  • 1 Inch Cinnamon Stick
  • 1 “Arm” of Star Anise
  • 8 Allspice Berries
  • 2 Tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Tbsp Salt

Grind spices along with Flaxseed and add to the water, orange, vanilla, sugars. Mix in everything else until you have a smooth batter – you could go “muffin method” here, or could mix until it’s as smooth as cake batter. Either way, it works. After all that, add in the cranberries, drop into muffin tins and/or cake pans, and bake at 350 until a toothpick comes out cleanly.
