If I had to pick one thing to bake over anything else, it would always be muffins. There’s just something so simply satisfying about whipping up a batch of muffins on a cold or rainy day – muffin recipes are always easy, quick to bake, and they always just taste so good with a hot cup of coffee or tea. It just doesn’t get any better. And these Cranberry Orange Muffins? They’re my new favourite!
I’ve already told you the crazy story about how I filled my freezer with fresh cranberries after a recent trip to Austria (fresh cranberries aren’t available in Romania where I live). I’ve been having tons of fun making all my favourite cranberry recipes again, like this Mulled Cider Cranberry Sauce, or this Slow Cooker Apple Cranberry Orange Cider, and these Cranberry Orange Muffins just had to be next!

The ruling on the field at our place is
Curtis: has had 3 (they came out 20 min ago) and says they are good and taste cakey.
Josiah: likes them and ate a whole one despite witnessing me add the orange peel *GASP!*
Sammy: wolfed it down without water lol

Next time I would make a triple batch! Delicious!! MADE The these muffins this morning – realized after the fact that I didn’t have egg, so I used a quarter cup of applesauce instead. I also subsituted oatmeal after 1 cup of flour. They turned out perfectly. Also I used lemon extract cause I was craving lemon cranberry like yu wouldn’t believe (preggo) really great recipe thanks!
