How to Make Starbucks Copycat Cranberry Orange Muffins

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and the zest of 1 large orange.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries and ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional).
Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
