Ingredients

Serves:

    • 1 seedless orange
    • 1/2 cup orange juice
    • 1/4 cup oil
    • 1 1/2 cups flour
    • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries
    • 1 egg
    • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Heat oven to 375F. Coat a standard sized 12-muffin tin with nonstick spray or butter.

Put orange, orange juice, egg, and oil into a blender vase and blend until smooth.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; whisk to incorporate. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients; pour orange mixture into it, and stir until a batter forms. Add cranberries, and stir to incorporate.

Pour mixture into muffin tins and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until muffins are golden and domed.

TIP: If you quarter the orange prior to blending, it’s a bit easier on the blender.

TIP: The muffins have a vivid orange color, which comes from using the orange peel.

TIP: Fill muffin tins about 3/4 full; muffins will rise and dome when cooked.

TIP: Muffins are cooked through when golden brown, and bounce back when gently pushed.

TIP: These muffins are terrific hot out of the oven, or toasted and buttered the next day.

Do you really use the entire orange? Entire peel and all?

Under the directions you mention add egg into blender with the orange, orange juice and oil. Under ingredients, in the body of the recipe, there is no egg or how many listed??????

How come "egg" and "Salt" are not included in the ingredient list?
