Tip from Marina: dust cranberries with about one spoon of flour before folding into batter. This will prevent cranberries of sinking to the bottom of the muffin.  

Divide batter into muffin tin filling liners (Use ice-cream spoon). 

Bake at 375F for 20 min or until tops are golden. Remove muffins from tin and let cool on the wire rock. Top muffins with orange glaze.

Ingredients for orange glaze

  •  Powdered sugar
  •   Orange juice
  •  Zest of one orange 

How to make orange glaze

Combine powdered sugar with orange juice and mix well. 

Add orange zest.

Tip from Marina: To thin the glaze more, add a little orange juice. To thicken, add a little more powdered sugar.
