Cranberry Orange Muffins

I have mentioned in a prior post about one of my newest favorite cookbooks. It is "The Sweet Melissa Baking Book". I originally found it at our local library, and enjoyed it so much, one of my daughters bought it for me as a Christmas gift.


Recently, I was in a muffin mood, and decided to try her Sweet Muffins recipe. It is a basic recipe that she recommends adding different sweet things to for a variety of muffins. I just happened to have a partial package of cranberries left over from Christmas, so I used those up in it along with the grated zest of one orange. They were really good. The muffin tins are filled completely full, which I wondered about at the time; but they baked up so nicely making a perfect crown on the top of each one.


The cranberries added a little tartness, but because of the sweetness of the muffins, they were a perfect blend.

I recognize this cookbook; my Melissa made some cupcakes from it recently. They were very tasty.
These look so, too.
