Cranberry Orange Muffins Made with Silk Soy Milk

Last week I set out to bake a muffin that works for breakfast, brunch, or a snack — and that’s dairy free. I’m currently avoiding dairy, so I used Silk Vanilla Soy Milk as a creamy, dairy-free alternative.

I made these with gluten-free all-purpose flour, but you can easily substitute regular flour if you prefer.

I love Silk’s Coconut Milk, but for this recipe the vanilla soy milk adds a nice hint of flavor. Its smooth, creamy texture enriches baked goods without dairy, giving muffins a tender crumb and pleasant taste.

Silk is Non-GMO Project Verified, which is important to many shoppers. Their vanilla soy milk also provides omega-3s, antioxidants, calcium comparable to cow’s milk, and about 6 grams of soy protein per serving — useful benefits for a dairy-free option.

The recipe is very straightforward: combine the dry and wet ingredients, fold in dried cranberries, spoon into muffin cups, and bake. You can fill the cups nearly to the top for generous muffins.

These make about a dozen regular muffins or 24 mini muffins. The finished muffins are warm, slightly silky, and bright with orange and cranberry flavor — perfect for mornings or an on-the-go snack.

They didn’t last long — I had to sample a few while photographing them, and they were a hit.

Muffins are a kid-friendly favorite — I often experiment with different fillings. More on that in a future post.
