- 2 cups of flour
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp orange rind
- 3/4 cup of fresh orange juice
- 1 cup of dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup of canola
- 1 large egg
- Coarse raw sugar
Coat a muffin tin with cooking spray.
Place the dried cranberries and the freshly squeezed orange juice in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat for 5 minutes. Side Note: This helps plump up the dried cranberries.
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and orange rind together until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, add the orange juice, cranberries, canola oil, and egg and mix together.
Pour this mixture into the dry mixture and stir until combined.
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle a bit, of coarse sugar on each muffin top.
Place into the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for a few minutes. Enjoy.
