I know that you have all been chomping at the bit wanting to know…no, dying to know “What IS that delicious looking muffin?” Come on, admit it. You savored the pie, you relished the strudel, but what you really want, is the smack of those muffins. Well, wait no longer because I bring you the third installment of my Trisha Yearwood Berry Patch-inspired baking-frenzy – the Cranberry Orange Muffin.
Some things are meant to go together – peanut butter and jelly, root beer and vanilla ice cream, and cranberries and orange. This recipe creates the perfect balance between that lively orange flavor and tangy cranberries. If the ingredients are soul-mates, does that make it soul-food?
