Dry Ingredients and Wet Ingredients Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and orange zest.

Combining and Baking

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these gluten-free cranberry orange muffins as a delightful seasonal treat!
