Back at it again with another muffin recipe, this time vegan cranberry muffins! To me, muffins (and cookies<\/a>) are the ultimate simple and straightforward treat. They require so little effort yet yield great results. They really shouldn\u2019t be allowed to be so good. It\u2019s sort of like investing money, you put in 10$ and it turns into 100$?! Witchcraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Anyways<\/em>, these vegan cranberry muffins are easy to make, moist, fluffy, lemony and require basic ingredients you probably already have! And if you don\u2019t have cranberries you can replace them with another (not too wet) fruit like blueberries, raspberries or even dried fruits and nuts. That\u2019s the beauty of muffins, they\u2019re super customizable. Just like the ginger-pear ones<\/a>! Just a batter with endless possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make these vegan cranberry muffins<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned, these are simple to make. Like most muffins, no electric mixer is required since everything can be mixed by hand. Just whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in one bowl, and the oil, water (or plant milk), vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest in another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can go the extra mile if you\u2019d like and rub the lemon zest into the sugar with your fingertips before adding the rest of the dry ingredients. That will extract some of the oils from the zest and amplify the lemon flavour in your cranberry muffins. And you can also use orange zest and juice if you prefer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once you have your two bowls of mixed ingredients, combine them and stir until you get a smooth batter. Then fold in your cranberries. If you want to make this recipe ahead of time, you can make the batter but omit the cranberries and put it in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you\u2019re ready to bake, you\u2019ll just need to fold in the cranberries!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these into giant muffins because I got a pan from the thrift store a while back that I\u2019ve been itching to use. But obviously feel free to make regular-sized cranberry muffins. I highly recommend topping them with some coarse sugar before baking though for some extra crunch. We all know muffin tops are the best part of a muffin, but that crunchy sugar topping makes them even better<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could even add some almond extract to the batter and finish it with an almond crumb topping<\/a> to make some delicious almond streusel cranberry muffins. Damn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storing these vegan cranberry muffins<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once the muffins are baked and have completely cooled, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Or you can keep them in the fridge for up to a week. But they\u2019re obviously best the day they\u2019re baked. I haven\u2019t tried freezing them but I wouldn\u2019t recommend it, muffins are always best fresh so I wouldn\u2019t go further than refrigerating them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
