My mother eats a muffin every day for breakfast, and I have come up with several different kinds for her. This is her favorite that I have made.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These cranberry orange muffins will be a delicious treat to wake up to. They're bursting with citrus flavor. Perfectly sweet, with little bits of tart cranberries throughout, these muffins are just as good as anything you'd find at a bakery.
