How to Make Dried Cranberry And Orange Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the zest of 1 orange.
  4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the wet ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 1 cup dried cranberries and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  6. Fill the prepared muffin cups about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
