These cranberry orange muffins make use of aquafaba or chickpea water, a vegan alternative to eggs.
2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (138 g) granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 cup vegan yogurt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup barista-style oat milk
3 tbsp aquafaba
2 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp finely grated orange zest
1 cup cranberries, fresh or frozen
Position rack in centre of oven, then preheat to 375F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with 10 paper liners.
Whisk flour with sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
Stir yogurt with oil, oat milk, aquafaba, vanilla and orange zest in a medium bowl. Stir yogurt mixture into flour mixture until 80 percent incorporated. Fold in cranberries. Divide batter among liners.
Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into muffins reaches 190F, 20 to 25 min. (No thermometer? Look for golden brown tops that spring back when lightly pressed.) Transfer to a rack to cool.
