Orange Cranberry Pecan Muffins
These muffins are the perfect weekend breakfast. They are quick to put together, no rest time and they bake in about 20 minutes.
TIPS FOR Success:
- Make sure that all the ingredients are at room temperature. This will make it easier for all the ingredients come together.
- Don’t over mix. After adding the dry ingredients only mix until the flour is no longer visable.
- Placing the batter into a very hot oven and then lowering it will alow the muffins to initially rise resulting in a nicely domed top.
