Can I use fresh cranberries in Orange Cranberry Muffins?
You absolutely can! We love how pantry-friendly Craisins are, and how difficult it can be to find fresh cranberries. However, if you do have access to cranberries, go ahead and substitute them for the Craisins. Increase amount to 2 cups.
Mini Muffin Instructions:
If you prefer mini muffins, go ahead and prepare your mini muffin pan by spraying with a non-stick spray and baking in an oven preheated to 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Half and half substitute:
Go ahead and swap out the half and half for plain yogurt if you prefer. Increase amount called for to 1 cup of yogurt.
Can I make these dairy free?
Yes! Simply replace the butter and half and half with your favorite plant-based alternatives.
Freezer Instructions:
Once your muffins are baked and 100% cooled, go and ahead and place in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Allow to thaw on the counter when ready to eat. The first option is to simply add a few saltine crackers into the airtight container that you store your muffins in. The crackers will absorb the excess moisture. The second option is to lay a paper towel out onto the bottom of your storage container. Place your muffins in on top of the paper towel in a single layer, then place an additional paper towel on top. The paper towel will absorb the excess moisture.
