Cranberry Orange Muffins Recipe #USCranberries

Monday, June 16, 2014 by Lolli 10 Comments

This recipe for Cranberry Orange Muffins with a Sweet Orange Glaze is part of the #USCranberries program, sponsored by the Cranberry Marketing Committee. Although I have been compensated, all views are my own.

These cranberry orange muffins are topped with a sweet orange glaze and I swear they taste even better than they sound. Sweet mixed with just a little tart. The perfect addition to breakfast!

Cranberries are one of my favorite foods. From fresh to frozen and dried to juices, they add a zing to dishes that simply can’t be duplicated. Not only are they delicious, but they are incredibly versatile. What other healthy ingredient can you use in a dessert, a main dish, a salad, a breakfast, a drink….you get the picture.

Did you know that Cranberries are:

This month, I was challenged to come up with a recipe using frozen US Cranberries. I’ve used Cranberries in smoothies, main dishes, salads, and more…but my sweet tooth got the best of me and I decided to try baking with Cranberries. I was so pleased with how the recipe turned out. These muffins were as delicious as they were beautiful. Don’t you love the contrast between the white and the Cranberry-red?

    Rita, while I was reading around to plan for the recipe, I heard several people suggest tossing cranberries in flour before adding them to a batter. Apparently it helps them not rise to the top when baking but instead stay nicely scattered throughout the muffin. :)

    These look amazing! I never would have thought to coat the cranberries in flour. That’s good to know. The touch of icing sounds delicious! Thanks. #client

    Cranberry muffins are a regular in our household, but we have never made them with orange as well. This sounds like a great combination.
