Cranberry Orange Muffins

Two of my good friends met today. My lifelong pal Simple met my favorite friend Tasty, and they really hit it off. A perfect example of how they feel about each other is this wonderful Cranberry Orange Muffin recipe. These are the most simple muffins ever to make because of the ingredients like self-rising flour, but ever so tasty because of the cranberries and the fragrant orange zest. I certainly hope Simple and Tasty will be seeing a lot of each other in the future and will inspire other great recipes like this one.

Cranberry Orange Muffins

2 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon orange zest
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a muffin pan with paper liners or use cooking spray. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cranberries, and orange zest; make a well in the center. In a separate bowl, combine milk, oil, and eggs; mix until well blended. Add wet ingredients to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan, filling 2/3 full. Bake for 18 - 20 minutes or until golden. Makes 10 muffins.
