Description

These cranberry muffins are made from scratch with tart cranberries and zesty orange for a bright and colorful holiday breakfast or festive treat.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 1/2 cups chopped cranberries

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
2 Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
3 Beat sugar and vegetable oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light in color and well blended, about 3 minutes. Add egg and beat until smooth. Mix in orange juice and zest.
4 Add flour mixture in batches, stirring until just combined. Fold in cranberries.
5 Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until tops until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool muffins in the pan briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
