How fun! And delicious looking! If only i could actually make them that fast 🙂
I made this recipe and it was deliciously moist and yummy. I always keep dried cranberries on-hand so I subbed those but microwaved with a splash of orange juice first to reconstitute. The recipe made a full 12 muffins so I froze half of them. They are just as tasty after freezing. Thanks for sharing, Lulu!
