Description

These jumbo orange-cranberry muffins provide a tangy, sweet twist on an old favorite, and they're easy to make.

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
2 cups white sugar, divided
1 large orange, zested and juiced, divided
4 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups sour cream

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 12 jumbo-sized muffin cups with paper liners.
2 Whisk flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl; set aside.
3 Combine cranberries, 1 tablespoon sugar, and orange zest in another bowl; toss until cranberries are evenly coated. Set aside.
4 Beat eggs in a large separate bowl; gradually beat in remaining sugar while constantly beating. Slowly beat in oil while constantly beating; stir in vanilla. Stir in flour mixture alternately with sour cream. Gently fold in cranberry mixture and 2 tablespoons orange juice.
5 Divide batter among the prepared muffin cups.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, about 30 minutes, rotating tins after 20 minutes.
