Cozy up with this winter with fresh cranberry muffins. That’s right, meet my new seasonal favorite for breakfast on-the-go. This recipe truly makes me wish fresh cranberries were available year-round. These muffins are made with spelt flour which has an mild, slightly sweet and appealing nutty flavor and is packed fresh, bright red cranberries. Spices like cinnamon, ginger, vanilla as well as fresh orange zest and crunchy walnuts as simply meant for cranberries. The combination is delicious.<\/p>\n

I am so happy to see cranberries pop up in supermarkets more and more over the years. And nice to know I am buying locally grown ones from L\u00fcneburger Heide, just south of Hamburg. I am even considering stocking up on cranberries for the whole year, by popping bags of them into the freezer so I can make these muffins on any time I like. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Cranberries, the wonder fruit from North America<\/h2>\n

Cranberries not only contain large amounts of vitamin C, but are loaded with antioxidants — thumbs up to their anti-aging effect. However, they are probably better known for the ability to help prevent kidney, bladder and urinary tract infections, which is exactly what has made cranberry juice a popular choice. Because they have a bacterial inhibitory effect they can also treat infections in the mouth — something to remember next time you get a cold sore! Plus cranberries have a compound that help disable plaque<\/a> from sticking to your teeth. Surprise, same goes with red wine! These are just a few reasons to add cranberries to your diet. The best forms are fresh (cooked of course due to their sour taste), then dried, and lastly juice — watch out for refined sugar!<\/p>\n

Fresh cranberry muffins made with spelt flour<\/h2>\n

I love baking with spelt flour. It’s something of a wonder grain and makes incredible baked goods. For this recipe I used a mix of white and whole grain spelt, but this can easily be played with. If you are looking for a more hearty muffin that holds more moisture, then increase the ratio of whole grain spelt flour. This will give the muffins a similar texture to whole wheat flour, and of course a more classic robust flavor. When using white spelt flour, I like to use Type 1050, which is great for bread baking since it is more hearty than Type 630, which is light and a fantastic choice for baking cakes.
