Orange Cranberry Muffins
Makes 12
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- zest from 1 orange
- 1 1/4 cup fresh cranberries, chopped (I toss them in the food processor)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with non stick spray (I don't recommend using liners – the muffins will stick)
- Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Beat the egg, sugar and applesauce with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the orange juice and zest and beat again.
- Add the flour and the chopped cranberries to the egg mixture by hand until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon batter into muffin tins making each one 2/3 full.
- Bake 18-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Start checking at 15 minutes.
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove to wire rack. Eat warm or let cool.
What size of a muffin tin is recommended
Just a standard size one!
I am making these right now. Look and sound amazing. Thanks!
So glad I found this recipe. They are so good and easy to make. I will definitely make them again.
Mine made more than 12
These turned out fabulous, even when your husband drank the last of the Trop 50 and didn’t tell you. I just juiced up some of the oranges that I had, pulp an all. Beautiful rise in them as well.
Good alternate plan and good to know. Thanks for posting that.
Anyone else feel they had after taste ? Maybe monkfriuit? I’m just starting to use for baking maybe I need to adjust my taste or the amount I use?
Sometimes artificial sweeteners can have an aftertaste. I think the monkfruit is the closest to a real sugar taste.
