Cranberry muffins

I can’t wait for you to try this recipe! Cranberry muffins are easy to make… really easy. We like to make these around the holidays when we can get cranberries for really cheap.

It seems they are always on sale during the holidays and it’s the perfect time to make these tasty muffins.

Cranberry Muffins are the perfect addition to your morning routine or for a fun afternoon snack. Either way, I think your family will love them.

Let’s get started!

The ingredients are really simple – most of which you probably have in your pantry. The only thing you might not have is the cranberries, but you can pick some of those quickly.

Tips for cranberry orange muffins recipe:

Now you can easily use muffin paper cups for your muffins if you want, but we started using these silicone baking muffin pans and we love them.

You don’t have to use cupcake liners and the muffins just slide right out with no sticking. Also, instead of just spooning enough batter into each muffin cup, I love to use a large baking scoop.

This is so quick and easy and delivers the perfect amount of batter every time. Once you use a scoop for spoon in your muffin batter you will never got back to the boring spoons. 😉

Cranberry orange muffins ingredients:

• 2 cup Flour
• ¾ cup Brown Sugar
• 2 tsp Baking Powder
• 2 Eggs
• ¾ cup Orange Juice
• 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
• 1 cup chopped Cranberries

How to make cranberry muffins:

Preheat oven to 375. Next, line muffin pan with paper liners.

Mix together flour, brown sugar and baking powder. Set aside.

Beat together eggs. orange juice and oil.

Add wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until moistened.

Fold in cranberries. Spoon into prepared muffin pan.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

Can you use dried cranberries instead of fresh in muffins?

Yes, you can use 3/4 the amount of dried cranberries if you prefer to use dried cranberries. We love these muffins so much that I make them year round.

I typically use fresh around the holidays when they are on sale and dried during the other times of the year.

Do you have to cook cranberries before baking?

No! Just toss them in the muffin mixture. Easy!

Everyone will love cranberry orange muffins!

We really love these muffins and they combination of orange and cranberry taste amazing together. Give it a try and let us know how you like them.

You can also make mini muffins. These would be fun for a party or really any time! If you don’t have a mini-muffin pan, I highly suggest you get one.

I love my Wilton mini muffin pan, but for just a few dollars more you can get a silicone pan.
