My love for cranberry orange muffins started young. We used to have a great grocery/general store in Columbus called The Andersons. The Andersons was one of those stores where you could buy a bottle of Dom Perignon, local zucchini, and paint. They also had a great bakery that started my love for cranberry orange muffins. Sometimes my mom and I would split one as a treat, and that was it. Love at first taste.
Unfortunately The Andersons closed a few years ago, taking my muffins with them. This means I now have to make my own. After trying multiple recipes, this one is my favorite. It’s a play on my Perfect Blueberry Muffins with Streusel Topping and I have to say, these are pretty perfect too. While these muffins are good all year, they would make the perfect Thanksgiving morning breakfast or really anytime this holiday season!

This recipe is an ode to my Nana. When I was growing up we would go over to Nana and Papa’s house for dinner once a week. It was hands down the best dinner of the week, mainly because Nana would make things my mom wouldn’t. Want honey cinnamon rolls and homemade mac and cheese for dinner? You got it! And don’t forget to save room for dessert! I know my mom was cringing the whole time, but I have some of the best memories from those meals.
