2 large eggs (at room temperature )
1/2 cup yogurt (at room temperature )

2 tsp orange zest
1 tsp vanilla

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.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Breakfast

Time 37m

Number Of Ingredients 16

Zest and juice of 1 orange (about 1 tablespoon zest and ½ cup juice)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup milk (plus additional as needed, at room temperature)
1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (at room temperature)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white whole wheat flour (or additional all-purpose flour)
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
¼ cup honey
1 1/4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon orange juice

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a standard 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray or fit with paper liners.
  • Place the sugar in a large mixing bowl. Zest the orange in directly over the bowl.
  • With your fingers, rub the zest into the sugar until fragrant.
  • Juice the zested orange into a large (liquid) glass measuring cup. If making the glaze, reserve 1 tablespoon of the juice in a small bowl and set aside. Into the measuring cup, pour enough milk to make 1 cup of liquid (the amount of milk you need will vary based on the juiciness of your orange). Whisk in the Greek yogurt. Set aside while you measure the rest of the dry ingredients (it will thicken up a bit).
  • To the bowl with the sugar, add the all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • To the bowl with the rested orange juice and milk mixture, add the eggs, melted butter, and honey.
  • Whisk to combine.
  • Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients. With a rubber spatula, fold gently to combine, stopping as soon as the flour disappears. The batter will be lumpy. Very gently stir in the cranberries. With a muffin scoop, large spoon, or measuring cup, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
  • Bake the muffins for 20 to 22 minutes, until the tops are golden, the muffins spring back lightly when touched, and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes, then gently remove each muffin from the pan and place on the rack to finish cooling completely (don't leave the muffins in the pan for longer or they may start to steam and become soggy). The muffins will be very delicate at first but will firm up as they cool.
  • While the muffins cool, make the glaze: to the bowl with the reserved orange juice, add the powdered sugar. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled muffins.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your muffins turn out perfectly.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your muffins will taste. If possible, use organic and locally-sourced ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender muffin.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short amount of time: This will help to create a crispy crust and a tender interior.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before glazing: This will help to prevent the glaze from running off the muffins.

These orange cranberry muffins with orange glaze are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their bright citrus flavor and tender crumb, these muffins are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
