Cranberry Muffins Extraordinaire

2 cups flour

1 Tbsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

6 Tbsp. butter

1 1/4 cups sugar

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp. orange zest

1 tsp. orange oil

1 bag fresh cranberries, chopped

1 cup chopped walnuts, almonds or pecans

shaker jar of cinnamon sugar

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, cream the butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and beat well. Blend this with the flour mixture. Fold in cranberries and nuts.

I use the extra large muffin cups, but any size is fine. Grease the pan well, including the top. Sprinkle top with cinnamon sugar. Bake 25 to 30 minutes at 400*.

These are our absolute favorite muffins in the whole world!!! My daughter likes to kid me that I really make them as a bribe, because people can't seem to get enough of them.
