  • nonstick cooking spray (if not using liners)
  • 2⁄3cup unbleached, all-purpose flour

Preparation

  2. 2. Put the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and brown sugar into a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Stir in the cranberries and pecans. Reserve.
  3. 3. In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, mix the egg, milk, vanilla and butter. Add to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined – do not over-mix or muffins will be dense.
