When the juicy cranberries meet with zesty orange, the result is a match made in heaven. Sometimes I think that these two are born to be used together. You get a spicy, juicy and zesty flavor that cannot be obtained with any other ingredient combination. Since last week, I have been crossing this fruit vendor on my way back home who has heaps of oranges laden on his store. Every time I see him, I remember I have to make Orange Cranberry Muffins. But, I forget almost always. However, yesterday I set a reminder that I have to buy oranges to make this recipe and hence finally bought them. Finally, I made them and it was the best feeling in the world.

Orange Cranberry Muffins

Cranberries are always there in my home. I just need orange to make it happen. I have used cranberries so many times before. For Cranberry Chicken, cranberry bread and etc. But, I had never made this Orange Cranberry Muffin. I had tasted it, back in India while I was on a vacation. And, its flavors have not left my taste buds until today.

How Did I Make my Orange Cranberry Muffins

Orange Cranberry Muffins

I used a lot of cranberries for my muffins. I like to go crazy over them. And, this is not the case with cranberries. Be it blueberries or raspberry I love to go all fruity when baking my muffin. Or else what's the fun about it? Moreover, it gives a nice bite when you are biting into your Orange Cranberry Muffins.

I also like to use a lot of butter for my recipe. It makes it really creamy and buttery. But, not much, though. Since too much fat makes the batter sticky. Moreover, it gives a cakey crust over my muffins which I really like.

I didn't use eggs for this recipe (since you know, I hate eggs) So, I have used thick Greek yogurt and vinegar instead. They make my muffins moist and doesn't make me miss the eggs.

I have also used 1/4 teaspoon of Orange Food color since I wanted to make it look a little orange! And I was also keeping in mind the gorgeous images that I could take when they would be baked.

I used just a tad bit of orange zest since too much of orange zest makes ruins the muffin. It gives a bitter taste and we don't want that.

Finally, I like to glaze it with Orange & brown sugar since it enhances the flavors of my muffins and makes it moist. Or else, it's just plain bland muffin. You can skip this if you want, but I haven't. 'Coz I really love to feel the orange juices married with lots and lots of juicy cranberries as I bite into them. Moreover, the glaze adds some richness into my muffins enhancing its texture and flavors even more.
