- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon (if using). Whisk dry ingredients until blended.

- Fold in the chopped cranberries evenly into the batter.
- Divide the batter among muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

- Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy. Consider adding chopped nuts or using dried cranberries for a twist.
