Ingredients:

  • 250g All-Purpose Flour
  • 150g Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 0.5 tsp Baking Soda
  • 0.5 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 240ml Buttermilk, room temperature
  • 115g Unsalted Butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 large Egg, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp Orange Zest
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 150g Fresh or Frozen Cranberries
  • 120g Powdered Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Fresh Orange Juice

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and orange zest. Use your fingertips to rub the zest into the sugar until fragrant and slightly orange in color.
  3. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the sugar mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
  4. Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Fold with a rubber spatula until just combined, ensuring you do not overmix. Gently fold in the cranberries.
  5. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin. Bake for 20 minutes or until the tops feel springy and a toothpick comes out clean. Whisk powdered sugar and orange juice to create a glaze and drizzle over cooled muffins.
