Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

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.

2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped fresh cranberries
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup butter or stick margarine, melted
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
non-stick cooking spray
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; stir well with a whisk. Stir in cranberries; make a well in center of mixture.
Combine milk, butter, rind, vanilla, and egg; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
Spoon batter into 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 18 minutes or until muffins spring back when touched lightly in center.
Remove muffins from pan immediately; place on a wire rack.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

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!

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.

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.
