How to Make Whole Wheat Cranberry Orange Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter.
  4. Whisk in 2 large eggs (or 1/4 cup egg substitute) and 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice.
  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 and the zest of 1 orange. Be careful not to overmix or crush the cranberries and orange zest.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.
