Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/3 cup light olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the almond milk, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the fresh cranberries and orange zest, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
