Notes

Tips for storing

To keep these cranberry orange muffins tasting as fresh as the day you baked them, there are a few tricks. First, let them cool completely before storing. Secondly, store them in an airtight container. A ziplock bag works great, or a large Tupperware container! They’ll last at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you’re looking to freeze these muffins, place them in freezer bags and remove as much, and they should freeze for up to 3 months.

Use a microplane for zesting

A microplane is a quick and easy to shred, grate and zest citrus! By sliding the orange back and forth along the steel shaft, shaving off tiny bits at a time, you’ll have plenty of zest and flavor for these cranberry orange muffins.

Use an ice cream scoop with release to fill the muffin tin! The scoop with release makes filling the muffin cups easy and clean!

Use a hand mixer

If you don’t have a stand mixer, use a hand held electric mixer and a large mixing bowl. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl so that the batter is mixed well.
