Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh cranberries You can also use frozen cranberries, just thaw and drain them first.
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup orange juice Freshly squeezed is best for flavor.
- 1 tbsp orange zest Use a microplane for fine zest.
- 1 tbsp baking powder Ensure it's fresh for best results.
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 large egg Lightly beaten.
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly for easy removal later.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This will ensure that your muffins rise evenly.
- In a separate bowl, mix the orange juice, orange zest, vegetable oil, and beaten egg. Stir until everything is well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.
- Finally, fold in the cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full, and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious muffins warm or at room temperature!
