Courgette and Cranberry Mini-Muffins

Ingredients for Courgette and Cranberry Mini-Muffins

• 190g plain flour

• 60g whole-wheat flour

• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 colher de chá de fermento em pó

• 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt

• 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

• 300g courgette, coarsely grated (from about 2 medium)

• 2 ovos grandes

• 120ml (packed) light brown sugar

• 120ml soured cream

• 80ml vegetable oil

• 120ml dried cranberries

• 60g pecans, toasted and chopped

• 2 mini-muffin pans (preferably nonstick), each with 12 (1/8-cup) cups (each about 1 3/4 inches wide and 3/4 inch deep)

Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 191°C. Butter muffin cups (if pans are not nonstick, butter liberally or spray with nonstick cooking spray).

In large bowl, whisk together all-purpose and whole-wheat flours, cocoa, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in courgette.

In medium bowl, whisk together eggs and brown sugar. Whisk in soured cream and oil. Fold wet mixture into dry until just combined (do not overmix). Gently fold in cranberries and pecans.

Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each cup 3/4 full. Bake until dark golden on top and toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool in pan on rack 10 minutes, then serve warm or turn out onto rack to cool completely. (Muffins can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in airtight container at room temperature, or frozen in airtight container up to 2 weeks. Defrost in refrigerator, then rewarm, if desired, wrapped in foil in 149°C oven 7 to 10 minutes.)
