CRANBERRY-ORANGE MUFFINS



Cranberry-Orange Muffins image

These cranberry-orange muffins are not overly sweet, and big on flavor. Lots of tart cranberries and sweet orange juice/zest kick the flavor up. Best when made with fresh cranberries, fresh orange juice, and lots of pulp! My family loves them without the glaze, but some of my sweet-toothed friends prefer it with, as the muffins are only slightly sweet on their own.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but thaw them completely before using.
  • If you don't have chocolate chips, you can use chopped semisweet chocolate or dark chocolate.
  • If you don't have orange zest, you can use 1 teaspoon of orange extract.
  • Be sure to mix the dry ingredients together thoroughly before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help to prevent lumps.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins will overflow.
  • Bake the muffins at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

These cranberry chocolate orange muffins are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The muffins are also a good source of fiber and vitamin C.
