Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 3 teaspoons baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 1 cup orange juice

  • 1 tablespoon orange zest

  • 1 ½ cups chopped cranberries

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

  2. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl.

  3. Beat sugar and vegetable oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light, about 3 minutes. Add egg and beat until smooth. Mix in orange juice and zest. Gradually add flour mixture and stir with a spoon until just combined. Fold in cranberries. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the tins briefly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
