I would give this recipe for Cranberry-Orange Oat Muffins by America’s Test Kitchen five stars – EASILY! #toogoodtobetrue

Of course there are many versions of Cranberry Orange muffins but this recipe reigns supreme! For me it’s the addition of oat flour, I think it adds a comforting flavor to this recipe. The orange zest zips it over the top. I like the fact that I can use frozen cranberries (easily accessible) – they’re pretty easy to chop as well! Pumpkin seeds add a nice healthy element, as well as a wonderful cRuNcH. I baked a batch of these muffins and froze many individually. I love to be able to pop a muffin out of the freezer to send with Fred to work!

This is my notes on their recipe, (follow their recipe), this is what I did…

MY VERSION OF ATK CRANBERRY OAT MUFFINS – Follow their recipe via link above to print…

Oven preheating to 375℉ – Prepare a 12 count muffin tin by spraying with canola oil (top too!)

In large bowl, mix together the following:

• 2 1/4 cups oat flour 
• 1 1/3 cups white wheat flour (or unbleached all purpose flour) (or half white wheat/half unbleached)
• 2 teaspoons baking POWDER
• 1/2 teaspoon baking Soda
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

In separate bowl, whisk together – until combined:

• 1 1/4 cups (plain) Greek yogurt (or regular!)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Then stir the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture just until combined (Do Not OVERMIX!)

• 6 oz. fresh cranberries coarsely chopped (or you can use frozen -THAWED- cranberries)
• 1 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds) – or walnuts or other nut

Gently fold the cranberries and pumpkin seeds (pepitas) until just combined.

They also do fabulous product reviews and test different ingredients to determine the best! All so interesting.

Had a little muffin with my cranberry lemon water – what fun I had! Use cranberries like ice cubes, along with one tiny cube in a double walled glass that keeps things cool. #lifeisgood #linksabove
