Ingredients
- zest of 1 orange, peeled with a serrated vegetable pepper (orange part only, try not to get too much of the bitter white pith)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup milk, or half and half
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 3 Tbsp regular sugar or sparkling sugar, for topping (optional) Find sparkling sugar online here
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and butter a 12-cup muffin tin, or line with muffin tin liners.
- Process the sugar and orange peel in a food processor until the peel has been totally incorproated into the sugar and it is fragrant, pale orange, and moist like brown sugar.
- In a large bowl whisk the orange sugar, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together until well blended. Make sure to break up those eggs.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and whisk until combined. Small lumps are ok, don't overwork your batter.
- Fold in the cranberries.
- Divide the batter into the muffin tins, and top with the sparkling sugar. You can bake right away but I find letting the batter rest on the counter for up to an hour results in the highest rise.
- Bake for about 25 minutes until risen and just starting to turn golden on top.
- Allow to cool in the muffin tins before removing.
- Muffins are best the same day, but they'll last a day or two more covered on the counter. Bring them back to 'life' by heating for 15-20 seconds in the microwave.
