  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1 tbsp milk (for cream cheese filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the cranberries carefully to avoid breaking them.
  6. In a small bowl, blend softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth to make the cream cheese filling.
  7. Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter, add a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture, then cover with remaining batter.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out clean.
  9. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar before baking, or serve warm with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
