Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat)

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup crystallized ginger, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground ginger.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the cranberries and crystallized ginger (if using).
- Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Variations:
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of turbinado sugar on top of the muffins before baking.
- Substitute chopped walnuts or pecans for the crystallized ginger.
- Use orange zest for a brighter flavor.
