Cranberry-Corn Toaster Cakes Recipe
Great baked goods don't necessarily require multiple pots and pans. These easy recipes require just one bowl, which means less time, less clean up, and more eating.

These corn muffins have a crunchy top, and tart cranberries add bursts of zingy flavor. Perfect for freezing and re-toasting later.
Notes: I used a muffin top pan with cups that had 1/3 cup volume. I filled each with about 5 tablespoons batter. Freeze leftovers stacked between parchment paper and well wrapped. Re-toast to serve. Depending how thick they are, use judgement as to whether to use a toaster or oven to ensure that they don't get stuck. If thick, microwave a few seconds before toasting.
