Cranberry Orange Muffins I Made It Ii

Cranberry Orange Muffins

eastcoaster 4 years ago
Great muffin, made as directed but used dried cranberries and it worked great.
I didn’t sprinkle sugar on top, I made a glaze with the juice of the orange and icing sugar.
I didn’t measure just mixed the icing sugar in the juice till it coated a spoon. I poked a few holes in the muffins so the glaze soaked in.
Spooned over the warm muffins and the flavor was really good.
I made these for friends that I had over for lunch and out of the twelve muffins none are left.
I had a small taste of the and it was good. I’m not a sweet eater but I do like muffins.
I also used Natrel lactose free milk in place of the milk and lactose free butter.

I noticed Shona made these and took her advice and baked them at 400f and done in 18 minutes.

OOoohhhh, I forgot about these muffins, I must make them again!! I was just coming on here to look for muffins to make for the kids after school snack today! Great minds think alike, lol ;)
I love the sound of your glaze, good use of the orange after zesting, I will have to try. And I might just try it with dried cranberries too, since that's all I have at the moment. ;)
They look so good in your fancy baking cups and festive background! Thanks for bringing them to my attention again. :D

Nice photo Manella! I like the paper cups that you baked them in. Nice combination of ingredients that do say "Christmas".

I made them just like you Manella, with the dried cranberry and orange glaze, delish!! The only thing I did differently was plump up the dried cranberries in hot water for few minutes before draining and folding in. I used a Satsuma orange which is sweet but still citrusy. They are definitely sweeter with the dried cranberries vs frozen/fresh cranberries--but not overly sweet by any means. Yum! :)

Hello Shona, Yup the glaze was good, after I zested the orange I thought a glaze or syrup would work and it did. I like your idea of putting the cranberries in hot water, next time I will. I got the baking cups at Sobey’s , Superstore carries them also. They are made by Pantry Chef. Glad I could help you making a decision on muffins:)))

Hello Linda, thank you I think so also. I do like those baking cups, so much better then greasing the tins. The clean up is easier also:))

I was just looking at my dirty muffin tin and thinking, I really wished I had those baking cups! I put them on my shopping list and will look for them at Superstore tomorrow. Thanks Manella! :)
The kids loved the muffins too, they each had 3 after school today, lol...they are very light and airy though. Some muffins have a weight and density to them, these are light as a cupcake. :)

Nice photo, Manella! I'll bet the muffins were delicious with the glaze over top. I like the combination of cranberry and orange, especially around the holidays.

I too love your paper muffin cups! I used to order all kinds of cute muffin cups online but haven't in a while, I'll have to look for some like that :) These muffins sound delicious, I need to short list them! I have yet to meet a muffin that doesn't freeze well, so they should be fine :-)
