For the best flavor, use fresh, seasonal cranberries and oranges. Don't overmix the batter; this will result in tough muffins. If you prefer a less sweet muffin, you can reduce the amount of sugar slightly. For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of melted butter. These muffins are delicious served warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes) Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin well.
02
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the fresh cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, white sugar, melted butter, egg, and orange zest until well combined. (3 minutes)
04
StepGently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. (2 minutes)
05
StepSpoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. (3 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (20 minutes)
07
StepAllow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (25 minutes)
08
StepWhile the muffins are cooling, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of orange juice, and a pinch of orange zest. Add more orange juice, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. (5 minutes)
09
StepOnce the muffins are completely cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the tops. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. (5 minutes)
