Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, orange juice, and orange zest.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped cranberries.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
  • If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
  • Ensure your oven is properly preheated for even baking.
