Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing 5 cups or lining them with paper liners. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. (3 minutes)

03

Step

In a liquid measuring cup, pour the vegetable oil. Add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup to the 1-cup line. Whisk together until combined. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Stir in the orange juice and orange zest until evenly distributed. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Gently fold in the cranberries until they are evenly dispersed throughout the batter. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about halfway. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops spring back lightly when pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (15-20 minutes)

09

Step

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (5 minutes)

For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent the color from bleeding into the batter.
The amount of milk needed may vary depending on the humidity. Add milk gradually until the batter reaches a consistency that is easily spoonable but not too runny.
Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

    I substituted whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour and they still turned out great!
