Joyce L. Bowman - Raleigh, North Carolina.
Bake-Off® Contest 37, 1996 Prize Winner
Joyce Bowman takes classes in Asian cuisines, but an All-American fruit muffin brought her to the 1996 contest. Judged the best recipe in the quick treats and snacks category, it was one of the four contenders for the million-dollar grand prize.

   3/4 cup buttermilk **
   3 tablespoons oil
   1 egg
   1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
   3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
   1 large firm pear, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces


Heat oven to 400°F. Line with paper baking cups or grease 18 muffin cups. In large bowl, combine quick bread mix, buttermilk, oil and egg. Stir 50 to 75 strokes with spoon until mix is moistened. Stir in cranberries, walnuts and pear. Spoon batter into paper-lined muffin cups. (Cups will be full.)

Bake at 400°F. for 18 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or cool.
