    I think muffins should’ve chocolate in them, not cranberries.

    Why would anyone put fruit in muffins? Just weird.

      I love fruit in muffins! Cranberries and orange make a great combo. Can’t wait to try this recipe!

    I still don’t understand why you need orange juice AND zest. Seems excessive!

    1. 5 stars
      Orange juice gives moisture, while the zest adds flavor. They each do their own thing! No excess here!

      But isn’t it just a bit too much? Couldn’t you just use one? Don’t get it.

    I don’t know, my muffins turned out super dry. Maybe I should’ve added more milk?

    Cranberry-Orange?! No thanks! But they smell nice, I guess.

      I totally get it! Cranberries and oranges might not be everyone’s jam. But have you tried them with a bit of butter? It changes everything!

    These was good, but I used frozen cranberries and they got mushy. Next time I’ll try fresh!

    Great recipe but my kids didn’t like the cranberries. Guess they’re just picky eaters.
