    White Chocolate Chip Craisin Muffins

    Here is one more recipe that I seem to like around the holidays. White Chocolate Chip Craisin Muffins are a grown-up kind of muffin that even the kids will love.

    White Chocolate Chip Craisin Muffins are a traditional vanilla muffin with the grown up taste of sweet craisins and white chocolate chips.

    I can’t get enough craisins (dried cranberries), especially this time of year.

    We have eaten craisins in pre-made foods that we bought out for a while, but the first time I made a dish with them was this Broccoli Salad with Creamy Feta Dressing.

    White Chocolate Chip Craisin Muffins are a traditional vanilla muffin with the grown up taste of sweet craisins and white chocolate chips.

    That recipe only calls for 1/2 cup of dried cranberries and so I had a ton leftover.

    So, I decided to make White Chocolate Chip Craisin Cookies.

    Oh boy! I love those cookies so much that I made a batch to share with my co-workers this holiday season.

    White Chocolate Chip Craisin Muffins are a traditional vanilla muffin with the grown up taste of sweet craisins and white chocolate chips.

    The recipe I used to make these White Chocolate Chip Craisin Muffins is a chocolate chip muffin recipe from Genius Kitchen.

    I changed it by swapping the milk chocolate chips with white chocolate chips and craisins.

    Cooking and baking is all about learning methods and then swapping ingredients to either change them or make them into something you like better.

    Tips for making White Chocolate Chip Craisin Muffins (or any muffin):

    Mix all of the wet ingredients together and mix all of the dry ingredients together separately, then mix them together.

    Do not over mix; just mix until there isn’t any dry ingredients visible. Over mixing will make a tough muffin.

    If using fresh fruit it is best to mix the fruit with a little flour to help them stay suspended in the batter and not sink to the bottom.

    Do not over-bake. Bake your muffins only until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few crumbles.

        Yes, they can be wrapped tightly in foil or kept in a zip top bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
