INGREDIENTS
  • Cooking Time: 20 minutes
  • Servings: 16
  • Preparation Time: 45 minutes
  • 1/2 batch of Pumpkin Pie Brioche Dough
  • 1 cup of cranberry sauce, preferably homemade
  • 6 Tbls cold butter
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup pecans, chopped
DIRECTIONS
  1. Line muffin tins with 16 paper liners.
  2. Dust your work surface and the surface of your brioche dough with flour.
  3. Cut out half of the dough with kitchen shears or a serrated knife.
  4. Quickly shape the dough into a ball, dusting with more flour if needed.
  5. Drop the ball of dough onto your floured work surface and cut in half.
  6. Cut each half into 6 even slices.
  7. Roll each slice into a ball (they should be about the size of a golf ball) and drop into muffin liners.
  8. Cut a hole in the center of each ball with a knife and use your fingers to stretch the hole to about the size of a large grape.
  9. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let sit for 45 minutes to rise.
  10. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  11. Prepare the streusel topping by combining cinnamon, flour, sugar and pecans in a small bowl.
  12. Cut in the butter with a knife or a fork until crumbly.
  13. As the brioche dough rises, your holes may begin to fill up, so you may need to re-stretch them. Once you have done this, spoon a teaspoon of cranberry sauce into each muffin.
  14. Top with streusel.
  15. Bake for 20 minutes and allow to cool in the pan.
