Cranberry Orange muffins are my favorite. I love cranberry and orange together, and this time of year always feels like muffin weather. Curl up with one of these and a hot beverage and you’ve got the perfect fall treat.
These are an easy one to mix up and I love that it makes a relatively small batch – great for a small family brunch.
The flavors are bright. Orange juice and orange zest make the batter a sunny color, and the fresh cranberries add a great tart bite to these. I love these fresh out of the oven, but you can also pop them in the oven or toaster to warm up the next day and they’re also fabulous.
I’m excited to be sharing this recipe as part of Cranberry Week – now in it’s third year! See all the tasty cranberry recipes being shared today below and follow #cranberryweek on social media for more ideas all week long.

Perfect treat for Muffin Monday. Love having muffins on hand for grabbing as we run out the door.
This is one of my favorite kinds of muffins to make each autumn. The combo of flavors is fabulous.
These look so good – bookmarking to possibly serve my many houseguests on Thanksgiving morning.
I love cranberry and orange together. I can’t wait to make a batch of these but I might have to take them to work. If I don’t, I might eat them all myself.
