Description

Simple recipe for moist muffins featuring cranberry and orange flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, vegetable oil, orange zest, and orange juice until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix just until moistened. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the cranberries.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • For extra flavor, you can brush the tops with melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven.
