Ingredients

1.5 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.25 cup white sugar
0.25 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest
1.5 cups chopped cranberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Gather all ingredients for baking.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl.
In a separate large bowl, beat sugar and vegetable oil with an electric mixer until light and well blended (about 3 minutes). Add egg and mix until smooth, then stir in orange juice and zest.
Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the cranberries.
Fill each muffin cup 2/3 full with batter.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool briefly in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
