Just in time for the holidays! These Cranberry-Orange Muffins are a delicious way to start off any morning with a bright and colorful Holiday inspired breakfast bite. Cranberry and orange are one of my all time favorite flavor combinations. The tartness and sweet playing off one another is always tasty. I’ve used the dynamic duo in bread, cookies, and now muffins!

If the Holidays could baked and served for breakfast, I’m pretty confident that they would taste just like these muffins right here. A little sweet. A little tart. And a whole lot of yum. Plus, this is about as simple as you can get with a muffin recipe.

I did consider doing some sort of glaze on top of these muffins, but in the end I decided that it was an unneeded additional bit of sugar and calories. So, I kept them as they were. No glaze. The off set of the cook time and temperature here give the muffins a soft fluffy inside and a firmer ‘muffin’ texture on the outer edges.

Know something else? Muffins are the perfect thing to make ahead of time to have ready and on hand for busy Holiday mornings.
