These easy-to-prepare muffins will have your home smelling like autumn in no time. Cranberries and citrus are a classic combination, and I rounded them out with some almond extract for an added floral element. The result is a well-balanced muffin that makes a festive and healthy quick breakfast.

  1. So good! We did 425 for 5 mins and reduced temp to 375 for 20 minutes. These were soft and fluffy with a lot of flavor. This muffin recipe would be a great base for lots of other fruit like blueberries! Thanks for the recipe.
