Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups orange marmalade
• 0.5 cups milk
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups dried cranberries
• 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
• 1 tablespoons orange zest (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure light and tender muffins.

Step 5

Carefully fold in the dried cranberries and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle the tops with orange zest as a garnish before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
