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!
