Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
  • 3 cups (383 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 400 F. Grease and flour a muffin tin or line the muffin cups with parchment paper liners.
  2. Toss the cranberries with 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar.
  3. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1 cup of sugar in a mixing bowl; whisk to blend. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs with the milk; stir into the flour mixture just until moistened.
  5. Gently fold the chopped nuts, orange zest, and sugared cranberries into the batter.
  6. Fill the muffin cups about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
