Melt in Your Mouth Flavor!
This lightly citrus muffin is so freshly flavored!
I have always been a fan of orange and cranberry combinations! One of my favorite recipes is an Orange Cranberry Relish I serve with Christmas dinner. So naturally, I combined these flavors in a muffin I can enjoy all year long! It is truly a delightful combination that will melt in your mouth!
Gather the kids and make these easy muffins this Saturday morning!
