In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.Step 4
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.Step 5
Gently fold in the chopped cranberries, walnuts, white chocolate chips, and orange zest, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.Step 6
