These GREAT TASTING MUFFINS were on the counter along with some cranberry spread I'd made as well as homemade cranberry sauce, & they were very tasty any ol' way ~ plain or with the spread or with the sauce or even with both! A most definite thanks for the keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Zaar Stars]

I used frozen cranberries. Usually I always reduce the quantity of sugar but didn't for this recipe since cranberries are sour. I did not add walnuts. I loved the cranberry and orange flavor. I made only 12 muffins cause I didn't one to use 2 pans. I cooked them for about 24 minutes but I think 22 minutes would have been better cause today they're a bit dry outside. But they're still good. Thanks Lainey. Made for Zaar Star Game.
