Here's my cranberry orange muffin recipe just in time for the holidays!  Have you noticed the bags and bags of fresh cranberries at the grocery stores lately?  Have you ever wondered what you would even do with them?  Well, here is a easy recipe that is just bursting with flavor! A delicious combination of oranges and cranberries!  Even my kids thought they were pretty good!

Cranberries and last bit of flour being added to the batter.

This is a really easy recipe.  Cream, add, mix, stir, and all that.  I do recommend, however, folding the cranberries into the batter with the last addition of flour.  This will prevent overmixing.

Divide the batter among 18 muffin cups.  As you can see they will be quite full, but that's totally fine.  Bake these tasty cranberry orange muffins at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.  A toothpick should come out clean.  Cool and eat!  Store cooled muffins in a loosely covered container.  They become too sticky and moist if you seal them in tight.
