Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl; stir in cranberries.
Step 3
Whisk 3/4 cup orange juice, white sugar, melted butter, egg, and zest of 1 orange together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture just until moistened. Do not overmix. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and firm to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool about 20 minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile, whisk confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon orange juice, and 1 pinch orange zest together in a small bowl. Add more orange juice, if necessary, to reach desired consistency. Drizzle glaze over cooled muffins.
