What are cranberry orange muffins?
Orange Cranberry Muffins are super simple and very flavorful sweet made with freshly squeezed orange juice, orange zest and dried cranberries. These eggless muffins are packed with the flavor of oranges and cranberries.
How long can you store them?
They stay well at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to store them for longer, I would suggest storing them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
You can also freeze them for up to 2 months. Just thaw them before serving and warm them up if needed.
Can I use store-bought orange juice?
Absolutely! use a good quality store-bought orange juice. However, I would recommend not to skip the orange zest as it gives a wonderful flavor.
Serving suggestions:
These are so versatile. Serve them as a snack, dessert or breakfast. They are great with a cup of coffee or tea.
Topping suggestions:
Sugar: Once you filled the muffin cups with the batter, sprinkle a good amount of granulated sugar on top and bake. It gives a lovely look to the muffins.
Glaze: If you want to add the extra flavor and sweetness to the muffins, drizzle vanilla glaze or orange glaze over the baked and cooled muffins.
Powdered sugar – Simply dust the baked muffins with some powdered sugar. It gives a little extra sweetness.
Step by step instructions
To soften the cranberries, soak them in hot water for 15 – 20 minutes and drain completely.
Before preparing the batter, preheat the over to 180 degrees C.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, orange zest and salt. Mix everything until well combined.
Add the soaked and drained cranberries to the flour mixture and mix.
Finally, add orange juice and gently fold the mixture until combined. Do not over-mix or over-beat the batter. The muffins will be flat if you over-mix the batter.
Fill each muffin cup ¾ full with the prepared batter.
Immediately place them in the preheated oven and bake for 30 – 35 minutes or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
