Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled (4 Tablespoons)
  • ¼ cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg + 1 large egg white room temperature preferred
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup buttermilk room temperature preferred
  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or 6 oz white chocolate bar chopped
  • Additional granulated sugar for topping optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425F (215C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together butter, oil, sugar, egg, egg white, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
  • Whisk in buttermilk.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt.
  • Gently, using a spatula, fold dry ingredients into wet until about 50% combined. Then, add cranberries and white chocolate and continue to gently stir until completely combined.
  • Evenly divide batter into prepared muffin tin (you can fill them to the top) and sprinkle tops with additional granulated sugar, if desired. For a taller rise, let muffins sit in the tin for 10-30 minutes before baking.
  • Transfer muffins to center rack of oven and bake for 8 minutes on 425F (215C). Once 8 minutes has elapsed, do not open door, but reduce oven temperature to 350F (175C) and bake another 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  • Allow muffins to cool in tin for 10 minutes before carefully removing to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
