Ingredients

All-purpose flour

2 cups

Dried cranberries

1 cup

Milk

1/2 cup

Fresh orange juice

1/2 cup

Orange zest

1 tablespoon

Egg

1, large

Granulated sugar

3/4 cup

Unsalted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Add the egg, orange zest, fresh orange juice, and milk to the butter mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the dried cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
9. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
