Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly or lining it with muffin liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
- Gently fold in the chopped fresh cranberries and pecans into the dry mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, eggs, and vegetable oil (or melted butter) until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Optionally, sprinkle additional pecans and turbinado sugar on top.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Watch for a golden brown top.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Avoid overmixing to maintain the muffins' light and fluffy texture. Customize with chocolate chips or different nuts as desired.
