Welcome to # CranberryWeek! I am teaming with some of my amazing blogger friends to bring you the best cranberry recipes for the Holidays! It is going to be a great week filled with wonderful recipes! I am starting the week with one of my favorites, Easy Cranberry Orange Muffins! My family loves these muffins. They are moist and full of orange and cranberry flavors! Easy to make and they also freeze well!
When my food blogger friends suggested a Cranberry week, these Easy Cranberry Orange Muffins popped right into my mind! Besides being easy to make, they are so delish! Seriously a great flavored muffin! Fresh cranberries, oranges and walnuts make delicious muffins that are always a hit with my family and friends! Easy Cranberry Orange Muffins are also perfect for Thanksgiving morning! These are awesome to bring as a hostess gift too!
Tips to making Easy Cranberry Orange Muffins:
- Make a double batch and freeze some for another day.
- These package and ship well! Wrap each muffin in plastic wrap tightly and ship to far away friends and family.
- Muffins freeze well, wrap in plastic wrap and place in freezer bags. Freeze for 3 months.
- I have used Bob’s Gluten-free Flour in lieu of the white flour and the muffins were awesome.
