Savory Cheese, Cranberry and Herb Mini Muffins

Makes 30 to 36
Time 25 min
Cheddar cheese and sweet cranberries complement each other nicely in these little muffins, bringing sharp, sweet and tart flavors together in a single bite. All-purpose flour can be substituted for the whole wheat pastry flour, if desired. If making regular size muffins, the recipe makes one dozen. (Allow longer baking time for larger muffins.)

Method

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Lightly oil a mini muffin tin and set aside.

In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat.

Add green onions, thyme, oregano and sage.

Cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant.

Remove from heat and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine both flours with baking powder, salt and cayenne.

Stir in the cranberries and cheese. Set aside.

In a second bowl, whisk together egg and milk.

Add green onion mixture, including all of the oil, and whisk well.

Fold the flour mixture into the egg and milk mixture, mixing until just combined.

Scoop batter into muffin tins.

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before taking muffins out of the tin. Serve warm.
