Cranberry Orange Muffins


We had a fairly mild December with no snow, unbelievable for Chicagoland, I know.  Now Mother Nature has unleashed the wrath of winter with snow and howling winds.  Welcome to Winter!




My neighbor had a birthday a couple of days ago.  Since I always bake something for his birthday,  he wanted muffins, so I made these Cranberry Orange Muffins. I love the cranberry orange flavors together.  I didn't have any fresh cranberries, so I had to use dried cranberries. You can't find fresh cranberries after Christmas. I usually buy several bags of fresh cranberries, and put them in the freezer for Christmas. I used the last bag to garnish Poinsettias, the drink with champagne and cranberry juice. You should try them, if you have  never had one,  Back to the muffins.


These muffins are dense, not overly sweet, and bursting with flavors of cranberry and orange.  I used orange juice, and orange zest, topped with an orange glaze drizzle. I also added Greek yogurt for extra protein.  These muffins bake up big and tall just waiting for hot cocoa, tea, or coffee. I like my muffins warmed, just sayin'. There's nothing better than warm muffins on a cold day. They make the perfect breakfast on the go, or snack.  My neighbor   loved them.  Happy Birthday Tom!  Enjoy and stay warm!
