Time 55m

Yield 6 muffins, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon orange zest (from a large navel orange)
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped using blender
1/2 cup pecan pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees for a 6 cup muffin pan or 375 degrees for a dark, non-stick muffin pan.
  • Grease bottoms of jumbo muffin pan with vegetable shortening.
  • Prepare orange zest in a large bowl. Beat orange zest, milk, oil and egg with a wire whisk until well mixed. Using a large spoon, blend four, sugar, baking powder and salt and add all at once to liquid mixture, stirring just until flour is moistened. Batter will be lumpy; do not overmix.
  • Wash 1 cup cranberries. Put in blender on Chop (lowest setting) for 2 seconds ONLY. Fold in cranberries and nuts into muffin batter. Divide among 6 jumbo juffin cups.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes until a round toothpick pressed in the center of the muffin comes out clean. Let muffins cool about 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Serve warm with butter.
