Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick spray or use paper liners.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  5. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the fresh cranberries with a spatula.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about ⅔ full.
Baking
  1. Place the muffin pan into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
