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.

CRANBERRY ORANGE BRAN MUFFINS



Cranberry Orange Bran Muffins image

A tasty way to get your fiber! I also plan on trying them with all orange juice in place of the milk.

Provided by Marg CaymanDesigns

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 33m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups wheat bran
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups flour (I use combo of white & wheat)
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup fresh squeezed orange juice (approximately)
1 2/3 cups low-fat milk (approximately)
1 -2 tablespoon orange zest
1/2 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, squeeze orange juice from orange(s) and combine with enough low-fat milk to make 2 cups total. Add zest from orange(s). Mix in applesauce, vanilla and eggs. Add wet ingredient mixture to dry ingredients and mix well by hand. Stir in cranberries.
  • Divide between muffin tins, and bake at 350°F for 18-20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Ensure your oven is preheated correctly as this will affect the baking time and texture of your muffins.
  • Use room temperature ingredients, particularly for the butter and eggs. This will help the ingredients blend together more smoothly and evenly, resulting in a lighter and fluffier muffin.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense muffin. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and avoid over-beating.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. Filling them too full may result in the muffins overflowing during baking.
  • For moist and fluffy muffins, avoid over-baking. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, the muffins are done.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can create delicious and flavorful orange muffins that will be enjoyed by all. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast option or a sweet treat for your next party, these orange muffins are sure to impress. Experiment with different variations and enjoy the delightful taste of oranges in muffin form!
