Ingredients
- 1-3/4 cups + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 7 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3/4 cup cranapple juice
- 1/4 cup cooking oil
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries coarsely chopped
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Grease twelve 2-1/2" muffin cups or line with baking cups; set aside.
- To prepare streusel topping, combine 3 tablespoons of the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set aside.
- To prepare muffins, combine remaining flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; set aside.
- In another bowl whisk egg, juice and oil together. Pour egg mixture all at once into flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Fold in chopped cranberries.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full. Sprinkle streusel topping over muffin batter in cups. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden and a wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean.
- Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from muffin cups; serve warm.
Helpful hints
- Streusel topping is optional. Adds 2 grams fat and 2 grams carbohydate per muffin.
- Freeze or refrigerate leftover muffins. Heat for 10 to 20 seconds in the microwave before serving.

If I use a different fruit (pineapples/pears/plums), How do I determine the breakdown of the sodium, phosphorous, potasium in these muffins? Is there a standard formula, that can be use to determine this breakdown? Dietitian comment: There is no formula as each recipe is analyzed based on the ingredients. If you are using a low potassium fruit like the ones you mentioned potassium will still be in the "kidney-friendly" range. the sodium and phosphorus do not change as fruit is very low in these nutrients.

Can you use baking soda instead of baking powder to cut out some of the phosphorus? Dietitian comment: Yes you can replace the 2 teaspoons baking powder with 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar. Let us know how your muffins turn out.

I made these today using my leftover (homemade) cranberry sauce. ( About 2 cups) instead of cranberry juice / fresh berries. They came out great!!

can i use dried cranberries instead? Dietitian comment: Yes. Place the dried cranberries in warm water to plump them up before adding to the batter.

I just juiced cranberries. How can I use the pulp in this recipe? Can I use 3/4 cup pulp (fresh) and omit the cranapple juice to prevent it from having too much liquid?

What if you used cranberry juice instead? Dietitian comment: Yes cranberry juice will work and potassium is slightly lower.

How is the sugar in the muffin portion supposed to be divided? Dietitian comment: No the granulated white sugar is not divided. However the flour is divided. The recipe has been adjusted to reflect this.
