Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh orange zest
- 0.75 cup Fresh orange juice
- 0.33 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Fresh cranberries, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice (for optional glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the muffin cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and fresh orange zest.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the orange juice, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Gently fold in the chopped cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins for an extra touch of sweetness and citrus flavor.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Starbucks Copycat Cranberry Orange Muffins!
