Tips & Tricks (5)
- Coat Cranberries in Flour 🍒Toss fresh or frozen cranberries in a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Maximize Orange Zest Flavor 🍊Zest the orange before juicing it, and use both fresh zest and juice for layered citrus complexity—the zest provides aromatic oils that juice alone cannot deliver.
- Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄Mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined with visible flour streaks remaining; overmixing develops gluten and creates dense, tough muffins instead of tender, fluffy ones.
- Bring Ingredients to Room Temperature 🌡️Let butter, eggs, and milk sit out for 20 minutes before mixing to ensure even incorporation and a more uniform, moist crumb structure throughout the muffins.
- Fill Cups Strategically 🧁Fill muffin cups two-thirds full with batter, then add a few cranberries and orange zest to the center before topping with remaining batter to create surprise pockets of flavor in every bite.
