Cranberry Pecan Muffins

 

Kids Cooking

 

Wake up to a breakfast of fresh muffins flavored with cranberries and pecans.  The English word cranberry is the shortened version of craneberry, which came from the plant's flowers that dip down and resemble the head of a crane.  Cranberries are also known as bounceberries, because they literally bounce if dropped when fresh and bearberry, since bears also love them.  Have fun cooking, but always leave the kitchen clean. 

  

Recipe:

2      cups all purpose baking mix

1/2   cup granulated sugar

3/4    cup milk

1       large egg

2       tablespoons melted butter

3/4    cup Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce

1/4    cup chopped pecans

 

Preheat oven to 400-degrees.  Stir together baking mix, sugar, milk, egg, and butter until well blended.  Swirl in cranberry sauce and pecans.  Coat a 12 cup muffin tin with a spray of canola oil and dust with flour.  Fill cups about 2/3 full.  Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.  Yield:  12 muffins.
