Cranberry Nut Muffins

Recipe Description

I absolutely adore these Cranberry Nut Muffins. They contain two of my favorite things – cranberries and pecan nuts. Did you know that cranberries are a superfood? Yes indeed, these small, hard, round, red fruits have numerous health boosting benefits. They are high in antioxidants and they can even lower blood pressure. I try to include them in my cooking whenever I can!

I love a simple recipe, don’t you? This one is one of the easiest muffin recipes ever. You cannot mess this up! Start by preparing a muffin tray. Then mix the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and add vegetable oil and orange juice. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Add the pecan nuts and cranberries. Drop the batter into the muffin cups and bake. Enjoy!
