Cranberry Orange Muffins
Soft and moist, these cranberry muffins are heavy on the flavor and burst with cranberries in each bite.
Cranberry is an underrated winter flavor, dontcha think? Cranberry deserves some love! That being said, how about a POP of vibrant cranberry for breakfast? An abundance of cranberries in every soft, buttery bite paired with a bright zest of orange. Anyway, cranberry and orange are absolute perfections together and I’ve been dreaming about today’s muffins.
And so, today’s muffins were born. Festive, fluffy, and packed with flavor. I used my blueberry muffin recipe as the base. Why? All that glorious butter flavor packed inside. Paired with juicy cranberries and bright citrus, the combination of flavor is unreal in these cranberry orange muffins.
