Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest (from about 1 large orange)

Wet Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additions:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries (halved if large)
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare muffin tin: Preheat oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange zest.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, sour cream, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined—do not overmix.
  5. Add cranberries: Fold in the cranberries.
  6. Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and serve: Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them to avoid streaking the batter.
  • These muffins freeze well—wrap individually and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
