Instructions
0 Prep: Preheat the oven to 425F and generously grease a 12-muffin pan with vegan butter or oil. Prepare the flax eggs and let sit for at least 5 minutes, to thicken. 1 Dry Ingredients: Add the flour to a large mixing bowl, then add the cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until combined, then form a well in the center of the bowl. 2 Wet Ingredients: Add the cane sugar, brown sugar, flax egg, yogurt, orange juice, melted butter or oil, and orange zest to the same bowl. Use a spatula to mix everything together, starting in the center of the bowl and working outwards; the batter will be thick. Gently fold in the cranberries until evenly distributed. 3 Divide the Batter: Use a large scoop or spoon to evenly divide the batter among the muffin tins, filling each tin level to the top. I like to sprinkle each muffin with a few extra cranberries, but that’s totally optional! 4 Bake: Bake in the middle rack of the oven for 7 minutes, then, without opening the oven, reduce the oven temperature for 350F. Bake for an additional 15 to 18 minutes, until the tops of the muffins are slightly golden. 5 Let Cool: Remove from the oven and set the muffin tin on a cooling rack; let the muffins rest for 5 minutes before using a knife to remove them from the muffin tin. Enjoy warm, or let cool completely on the wire rack before storing. 6 Storage: Muffins will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze these cranberry orange muffins or up to two months, and defrost/reheat as necessary in a toaster oven. I do not recommend storing your muffins in the fridge as it makes their texture chewy.View original recipe
