Muffins are a classic in baking with origins in British tradition, where they were initially made as small, fluffy breads to accompany tea. In Latin America, this delicious product has been adopted and adapted under different variants. In countries like Mexico and Colombia, they can be found as "panquecitos" or "magdalenas," while in Argentina they are commonly known as "quequitos." The recipe for sour cream and cranberry muffins is a modern variant that combines the creamy texture provided by the sour cream with the acidic and fresh touch of cranberries, ingredients that have gained popularity in the region for their benefits and unique flavor.
This type of muffin is especially appreciated because the sour cream helps keep them moist and tender for longer, in addition to providing a slightly acidic flavor that balances the sweetness. Cranberries, available in several Latin American countries either fresh or frozen, give them a shine and a healthy touch that makes them perfect for nutritious and tasty breakfasts or snacks.
