yummy muffins!


crumb topping:
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1/4 cup butter, melted

muffin batter:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup butter melted and cooled
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

Heat oven to 425 F. Grease 12 standard nonstick muffin cups.

For the crumb topping:
Mix flour, both sugars, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in melted butter and then pinch together into clumps.

For the muffin batter:
Mix together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl, set aside. In a large bowl mix together the yogurt, egg, and butter, then stir in the flour mixture until just blended. Now use the empty bowl to toss the cranberries and 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar together. Fold the fruit into the batter.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle on the crumb topping and gently press it into the batter. Bake until muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let muffins cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack a cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
