Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup leftover cranberry sauce
½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
Optional: ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, leftover cranberry sauce, and sour cream until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. A few lumps are okay.
If you’re adding nuts, fold them into the batter now.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
