Cranberry Orange Muffins
We love having made ahead breakfasts that wee can just grab and go. Super Easy Cheese Danish,Caramel Pecan Rolls,, Cinnamon Apple Turnovers and these Cranberry Orange Muffins are all great for that.
In the past, I was never a big fan of cranberries. This week, however, has changed my mind. First those delicious Vanilla Sugar Cranberries and now these muffins. Both were above my expectations. Is there something that you never really liked and then suddenly you loved it? If you have something like that, stop by the comments and let me know. It would be great to know its not only me.
These muffins are packed full of fresh cranberries, along with orange juice, sour cream and lots of butter, making them super moist.
