Cranberry Orange Muffins

November 3, 2017 By Cheryl 2 Comments

These Cranberry Orange Muffins are the perfect combination of sweet & tart. The recipe includes a sweet orange icing glaze making these muffins great for breakfast or dessert. These muffins are quite easy to make – no mixer required – and they’d be a great holiday brunch treat or afternoon coffee break snack. They’ve been given the thumbs up around here by both the kids and the adults – I consider that a win!

Love chocolate? Who doesn’t! You can add some extra sweetness to these muffins by adding in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

    I LOVE Cranberry Orange Muffins! Can’t wait to try these! Can you use Craisins in this recipe? Would you have to soak them in a liquid to plump them up? These look so yummy!! Thanks!
