This morning began the same way as the past two mornings: In the kitchen.
Today’s baking adventure was cranberry orange muffins, which I made using reduced sugar yellow cake mix.
I felt like a real chef as I zested an orange. 😉
Zesty!
The fresh, citrus flavor of the orange really came through in these muffins and tasted quite cheery!
Ready for Eatin'
I think every one in my family had three! I know I did. 😀

Question of the Day
What is your favorite kind of muffin
I love any kind of muffin that has streusel or crumb topping. 😉

I have a fab recipe for Oatmeal Applesauce muffins – they are my favorite and very healthy too!
yummmy! I love fresh baked muffins especially ones with huge muffin tops!!
my favs are blueberry, raspberry yogurt, cinnamon swirl and banana. Give me any muffin and I’m happy actually!
My favorite muffins are ones that have textured tops like streusel or crumb as well. They’re so fun to eat! And I’m pretty sure those “textured” crumbles are balls of sugar : P
My favorite muffins are bran or morning glory. I like the ones with texture. Who says their favorite muffin is bran? Am I 90?! 🙂
LOL – i agree! bran muffins are tasty.
You are such a baking queen! I’m so boring in the morning…I need to be more creative, like you! These look great.
I love blueberry, but really love chocolate chip. Shocking, I know. 🙂
I love all muffins…but especially like banana ones or zucchini!
I like my muffins with fruit or vegetables (bananas or carrots, etc…) and loads of cinnamon. 🙂
Definitely blueberry!!
Mmmm…banana chocolate chip! Some people think it’s an odd combination but I love it!
Chocolate chip for sure! Or any kind of “chip” for that matter- a place at the Jersey shore has a cinnamon chip muffin that is out of this world!
I just pulled a batch of carrot coconut quinoa muffins outta the oven – mmm!
yumm! I LOVE MUFFINS! Im a chocolate chip gal 🙂
