Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and either grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners. In a bowl, combine the cranberries, orange zest, and baking soda, then pour boiling water over the top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften. Meanwhile, mix together the brown sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla extract in another bowl until smooth. Add the cranberry mixture to this and give it a good stir. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour and baking powder together, then fold them gently into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips. Scoop the batter evenly into your muffin cups and pop them in the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden and bounce back when you press the tops lightly.
