What is Cranberry Muffin?

Cranberry Muffins has an abundance of cranberries in every soft, buttery bite, which is paired with a bright zest of orange and orange juice.

The other ingredients used to make these delicious muffins are the usual muffin ingredients such as all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, eggs, granulated sugar, butter and vanilla extract.

If you don’t have orange, you can even use lemon zest and lemon juice instead of orange zest and juice.

Lemon also gives a fantastic flavour to these muffins. 

Cranberry and Orange, this combination is a must, especially during Winters.

I can say that this pairing is a match made in heaven, because it creates magic when combined to create a dish.

To add an extra crunch to these muffins, you can also add almonds, pecan etc to your muffin batter.

If you are looking for an egg substitute, then you can also use Buttermilk or Greek Yogurt to make these soft and moist eggless muffins.

If you want a Vegan option and don’t mind the brown texture in your muffins, then you can even use Flax seeds paste to substitute eggs in your recipe.

To substitute all purpose flour in the recipe, you can use whole wheat flour too, but I must tell you, you will not get the same soft and moist texture as the all purpose flour ones.
