How to Make Cranberry Orange Low Fat Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup orange juice until sugar is dissolved.
  4. Whisk in 2 large egg whites, ¼ cup light corn syrup, and 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
