CRANBERRY-ORANGE MUFFINS



Cranberry-Orange Muffins image

These cranberry-orange muffins are not overly sweet, and big on flavor. Lots of tart cranberries and sweet orange juice/zest kick the flavor up. Best when made with fresh cranberries, fresh orange juice, and lots of pulp! My family loves them without the glaze, but some of my sweet-toothed friends prefer it with, as the muffins are only slightly sweet on their own.

  • Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Set aside 1 tablespoon sugar. Combine flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture.
  • Combine rind, juice, oil, and egg in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Fold in cranberries and walnuts. Spoon batter into 16 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with reserved sugar. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until the muffins spring back when touched lightly in center. Run a knife or spatula around outer edge of each muffin cup. Carefully remove each muffin; place on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a tart and tangy flavor that is perfect for muffins. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Cranberry muffins are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their tart and tangy flavor, they are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy muffin recipe, give these cranberry muffins a try!
