Description

Orange zest adds a layer of flavor to these cranberry and pumpkin muffins.

Ingredients

2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 cups white sugar
1 cup solid pack pumpkin
1/2 cup corn oil
2 tablespoons orange zest
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups cranberries, halved

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
2 Beat eggs, sugar, pumpkin, corn oil, and orange zest in a small mixing bowl until smooth.
3 Mix flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl with a fork. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour pumpkin mixture into the well; stir until the dry mixture is just moistened into a batter. Fold cranberries into the batter.
4 Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes.
