How to Make Orange/Cranberry Muffins
- Preheat oven to 400 F.Place paper cupcake liners in muffin tins; set aside.
- Sift the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl, Make a well in the center of the dry mixture. In a separate bowl, combing the orange juice, eggs and melted butter. Pour the liquid mixture into the well of the dry mixture. Stir until dry ingredients are just moistened. Batter will be a little lumpy. Do not over-mix or texture will be tough. Fold in remaining ingredients
