CRANBERRY MUFFINS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Spritz the liners with nonstick spray; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on low speed to combine the oil and ¾ cup of sugar. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue mixing for 2 more minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing to combine after each addition.
- Mix in the vanilla extract, the optional orange zest (if using), and the sour cream until smooth.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients. Mix just until the batter is thick and smooth; do not over-mix.
- In a small bowl, toss together the cranberries and the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar so that all of the cranberries are coated.
- Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the cranberries into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle tops with optional coarse sugar, if desired.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

CRANBERRY CRUMB MUFFINS
In these tender muffins, a crunchy topping adds nice textural contrast, and supertart cranberries keep the sweetness balanced. Fresh or frozen cranberries work well, but if using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before they go into the batter. The batter may seem extra stiff from the cold berries, but it will bake up just fine. (They may need an extra minute or two in the oven.) Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or a mix of the three would be lovely. If you use berries, you can expect some color streaking, but they will taste great. Chopped up in-season peaches or plums would be tasty, too. Use a spring-loaded ice cream scoop to portion muffin batter into the prepared pan: It's easy, quick and helps to keep the muffins the same size.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
- Prepare the crumb mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter, and stir to combine.
- Prepare the muffins: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the cranberries and pecans, and gently toss to combine.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and the milk. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
- Fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Fold in the sour cream mixture. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups. Squeeze the crumb mixture to create clumps of varying size, and sprinkle evenly over the tops. (It's OK if some of the crumb mixture lands on the tray.)

Tips:
