Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F degrees. Line a 12-count muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, using a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat the butter at high speed until smooth and creamy for about 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
- Add the granulated mixture and beat it on high until thoroughly combined for about 2 minutes. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Add the eggs, greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Whisk for about 2 minutes, starting at medium speed and gradually increasing it to high speed. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Beat in the orange zest until combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and gently stir in until thoroughly combined.
- Slowly whisk in the orange juice and milk until combined and little lumps remain.
- Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the cranberries. You can also use frozen cranberries; don't thaw them if you decide to use them.
- Spoon batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling them to the top. Top each muffin tip with a few more cranberries.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 425 degrees F, then lower the temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for 18-20 more minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins from the oven, let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove them from the tins and transfer them to a cooling rack. Let the muffins completely cool before topping them with the glaze.
Glaze:
- Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl and stir to combine thoroughly. If the glaze is too thick, add a bit more juice or sugar.
- Drizzle over muffins, let it set for a few minutes. Serve and enjoy!
