There's nothing quite like the smell of muffins baking in the oven. The tartness of the cranberries pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the muffins, and they're just begging to be devoured.

  1. sunnyAZ REVIEW:

    This recipe is simple (does not require a mixer) and quick! I used white whole wheat flour and substituted rolled oats for 1/2 C of the flour. They are delicious! I used muffin paper cups instead of the spray and they worked fine. I only baked for 15 min and they are nice and moist. I didn't have any of the orange zest so just left it out but I didn't notice any taste difference. Next time, I'll try adding some walnuts. Yum!

  2. Kara REVIEW:

    Great recipe. When I first mixed dry ingredients with wet, it was a little too dry to mix fully, so I added a tablespoon of milk. (Might be because I used half all-purpose and half wheat flour.) The batter was really thick, so I was nervous they might not turn out. However, I was happy to find that they came out fluffy and delicious.

  3. SueZQ REVIEW:

    I have made lots of recipes for muffins. This is by far the best. It worked the first time and is perfect just as written. I did use a large tablespoon of frozen OJ concentrate substituted for juice and zest, since I had no oranges.
