Delightful Citrus Orange Cranberry Muffins for Home Baking

Citrus Orange Cranberry Muffins made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh orange juice
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining with muffin cups.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Gently fold in the chopped cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
