Muffins are one of my favorite breakfasts! I decided to make these because I had some extra cranberries laying around and they turned out wonderful! I only made a small batch of them (6) this time as it was right before heading out on vacation but I doubled the recipe so it will make a dozen muffins.  This was my second time making them the past few weeks, after I made the Bakery-Style Lemon Crumb Muffins, I just wanted more muffins!

Now if you love cranberries, than these are the orange cranberry muffins for you! Almost every bite has a whole cranberry and they are just wonderful! The orange in the muffin complements the cranberries so well too, especially in the glaze on top! It may say it’s optional, but make it! You won’t regret it, I promise!

Notes on cranberry orange muffins recipe

  • Make sure to use fresh or frozen cranberries, not dried cranberries! Dried cranberries are great, but not as flavorful so the muffins will be a lot more bland since the star of the show is the cranberries!
  • Don’t forget to drop the ovens temperature down after the muffins are in the oven, this helps them become nice and domed on top, like a bakery muffin!
