Very good! Loved the burst of flavor from orange zest and fresh cranberries. Great as is, no icing needed. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I often reduce the quantity of sugar and in this recipe I used only 1/2 cup of sugar. Which was perfect for us. I used frozen cranberries that I halved. The batter was thick, I was worried and wanted to add milk. But I didn't. And they have the perfect texture. They're moist. And so yummy. Thanks Charlotte. Made for 123 hit wonders.

Great muffins! They reminded me of the Cranberry-Orange Muffins I used to buy from Mmmmmmm...arvelous Muffins at Carlingood Shopping Centre in Ottawa. My cranberries were also frozen. The zest is critical for the fresh taste in these.

These were delicious! I chopped the cranberries into quite fine bits using the food processor. Because the cranberries were frozen, the muffins took a few more minutes in the oven but I tested with a toothpick till done, about 5 more minutes. These are sweet enough, while still getting some tart flavour from the cranberries and the orange zest shines through as well. Did not ice. What a delightful breakfast I had this morning, thank you!
