Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a 12-count muffin tin with muffin liners plus another tin with 3 muffin liners.
2
Whisk together the oil, sugar, lemon pudding mix, lemon juice, lemon extract, and lemon zest. Add the eggs and sour cream and whisk until combined.
3
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir in the fresh cranberries. Add to the combined wet ingredients and stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
4
Spoon the batter into each of the 15 muffin cups filling each one almost to the top. Bake in preheated oven for 25-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5
Prepare the icing while the muffins are cooling. Whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled muffins. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Freeze Your Cranberries First 🧊Toss fresh cranberries in a bit of flour and freeze them for 30 minutes before folding into batter to prevent them from sinking and bleeding color into your muffins.
- Don't Overmix the Batter ✋Mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined—overmixing develops gluten and creates dense, tough muffins instead of the fluffy texture you're aiming for.
- Zest Before Juicing 🍋Always zest your lemons before cutting and juicing them, as the juice makes it nearly impossible to zest effectively and you'll get more aromatic zest this way.
- Room Temperature Ingredients Matter 🌡️Let eggs, sour cream, and milk sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before baking to ensure even mixing and a more uniform, tender crumb structure.
- Glaze While Still Warm ✨Apply the icing sugar glaze to muffins when they're still slightly warm (but cool enough to handle) so it sets into a beautiful, glossy coating that adheres properly.
