Deneece's Notes:

Pictured here with Peanut butter peanut butter chip cookies. These muffins do not have the glaze on them since I made them for my daughter and she does not like any types of icings. They are much prettier and definitely a much more unique taste with the orange glaze

Directions

Preheat oven to 375F and line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners. Or spray the muffin pan with non stick cooking spray

Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Make a well, then add in in orange juice, orange zest, oil and egg and whisk everything together until just combined.

Stir in whole and dried cranberries.

Divide evenly into prepared muffin cups.

Bake for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Turn onto wire rack to cool.

Orange Glaze

Stir together powdered sugar and water to desired consistency. (thicker for glaze, thinner for drizzle) add pure orange extract little by little till desired flavor is achieved.

Blueberry Glaze:# 1 cup sugar
