Leftover Muffins?
These muffins are so good, you probably won’t have many leftovers. If you do, don’t worry – they keep well. Add leftovers to a zip-lock bag and keep them in the freezer for up to a couple of months. Grab one or two when you want them, then zap in the microwave for 15-30 seconds. They will taste as good as the day you made them.
Delicious for Breakfast or Dessert
DaLynn’s chocolate chip orange cranberry muffins are always a delicious treat. I love them with coffee in the morning, or served warm with ice-cream for a decadently delicious dessert.
Muffin Variations
While orange and chocolate do pair exceptionally well, you might try substituting orange with lemon for a zesty twist. Instead of cranberry, you might try using blueberries or bits of tart apple, such as Granny Smith.
Chocolate Chip Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Try substituting lemon zest and blueberries for a delicious alternative!
