Ingredients

• - Cranberries (for a tangy flavor)
• - Fresh Orange Zest (to enhance citrus notes and aroma)
• - Orange Juice Concentrate (for added moisture and color)
• - Unsalted Butter (for tender muffins, use organic or grass-fed for better taste)
• - All-Purpose Flour (key ingredient for structure in muffin bakes)
• - Granulated Sugar (use organic cane sugar if preferred for a natural sweet taste)
• - Baking Powder (use baking powder with aluminum free for health benefits)
• - Eggs (two large eggs ensure good binding, choose cage-free for better welfare)
• - Vanilla Extract (adds depth and complexity to the flavor profile)
• - Salt (just a pinch, helps balance sweetness but use iodized salt as non-iodized can affect baking texture)
