Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter room temperature
- ½ cup Granulated sugar
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs room temperature
- ½ cup Yogurt
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Zest of 2 Oranges
- 1 ¾ Cup All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda

- ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoon Orange Juice
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 1 ½ cups Cranberries (Fresh or frozen)
Glaze
- 1 cup Confectioners Sugar

Instructions
- reheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the granulated and brown sugar, and beat on high until creamed, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute, then increase to high speed and continue beating until the mixture is well combined and smooth. Mix in the orange zest until evenly incorporated.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and slowly whisk together until just combined.
- Add the orange juice and milk, gently whisking until the batter is evenly textured. Fold in the cranberries using a spatula or spoon, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
- Add the orange juice and milk, gently whisking until combined and uniformly textured. Fold in the cranberries with a spoon or spatula.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup all the way to the top. Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then lower the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy!
