These cranberry orange muffins are quick to make and packed with fresh, citrusy flavor. They use whole wheat flour for a healthier snack or as part of your brunch spread.
Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1-1/2 cups orange juice
1/4 cup canola oil
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, halved
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk egg, orange juice and oil until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in cranberries.
Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 15-20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.
