Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Carrot Cranberry Muffins.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven warms up, line a muffin tin with paper liners to make cleanup a breeze later on.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, chia seeds, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Give it a good stir to blend all those lovely spices together.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the room temperature butter with the brown and white sugars using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is crucial for creating a tender muffin, so take your time!
Step 4
Next, add the egg to the butter mixture and beat until well combined. Then, mash the banana and fold it into the mixture until everything is smoothly incorporated. The banana adds natural sweetness and moisture to your muffins!
Step 5
Now, gently fold in the grated carrots and orange zest. The zest will brighten up the flavors, making each bite a little burst of sunshine!
Step 6
Gradually mix the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, about half a cup at a time, until you have a smooth batter. Finally, fold in the cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 7
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them nearly to the top. This will give you those lovely, domed muffins we all love!
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible!
Step 9
Once baked, let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
