Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined.
-
In a separate medium bowl, mix the orange juice, grated orange zest, egg substitute (or yogurt/applesauce), and any other wet ingredients until smooth.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
-
Fold in the chopped fresh cranberries (or dried) and nuts if using, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
