Bakery Style Cranberry Muffins

I like to do things myself. It keeps me busy and out of trouble. (I just say that’s the reason because telling you I want to be in control sounds worse!) When the holiday season is here, I kick it into high gear both in my personal life and for the blog. I love Christmas and I want to soak up everything that comes with it!

Not all of us feel loved the same way, so I am grateful that love comes in many forms! If baking is your love language, make a batch of these Cranberry Orange Muffins!

How to Make Cranberry Orange Muffins

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a muffin pan with liners.

Make the crumb topping by combining 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 2/3 cup flour together in small bowl with a fork. Mix until crumbly. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon.

In a large bowl, beat together 1/2 cup softened butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 tbsp orange zest. Then beat in 2 eggs, 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt, and 2 tsp vanilla.

Then beat in the dry ingredients, 2 tbsp orange juice, and 2 tbsp milk.

Fold in 1 1/2 cups cranberries. Add in more if desired!

Distribute batter evenly between muffin liners. Press additional cranberries into the tops of the muffins. Then sprinkle the crumb mixture on top, dividing evenly between the muffins.

Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Bake for additional 15-16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool.

In the meantime, make the icing by whisking together 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 tbsp orange juice. Drizzle over the muffins.
