These muffins are a great way to use leftover cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving! They are so soft and fluffy and so delicious with the roasted pecans on top. The sugar amount needed depends on how sweet your cranberry sauce is. You can go up to 1/2 cup if the leftover cranberry sauce is on the tart side.

Ingredients

½ cup milk
⅓ cup olive oil
1 ¼ cups leftover cranberry sauce
⅓ cup brown sugar, or more to taste
1 egg
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup oatmeal
¼ cup chopped pecans, or to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
Combine milk, olive oil, leftover cranberry sauce, brown sugar, and egg in a bowl and mix together using an electric mixer. Mix in baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually add flour and oatmeal and mix everything into a smooth batter.
Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 21 minutes. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
