Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup white sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 1/4 cups milk

1 cup butter, melted

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup chopped cranberries

1 cup chopped, peeled apple

3/4 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts

1/2 cup chopped dried figs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease 18 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, white sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Create a well in the center.
  3. Add milk, melted butter, and beaten eggs into the well. Mix until smooth and just combined.
  4. Stir in cranberries, apple, hazelnuts, and figs until evenly incorporated.
  5. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

Swap hazelnuts for pecans or walnuts.

Replace figs with raisins or chopped dates.

Add orange zest for a brighter flavor.

Sprinkle coarse sugar on top for crunch.

Fold in oats for a heartier muffin.
