    No-Mess Muffins: To reduce cleanup when you make muffins, spoon the batter into a zip-top bag, snip off a corner and fill the muffin tins.

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with paper baking cups or spray with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, flaxseed, baking powder and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, milk, sugar, oil, orange peel and egg. Stir into the wet mixture into the flour mixture just until the flour is moistened (the batter will be thick). Fold in the cranberries.
  4. Divide the dough evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 17 to 21 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  5. Remove from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool.
  6. Glaze: in a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm muffins.
