Hope you’ve all had a wonderful Christmas! If you find yourself with some leftover cranberry sauce, this recipe is for you…
These light, flavourful muffins are topped with a sharp, sweet swirl of cranberry sauce and a slightly crunchy streusel topping. Perfect for a weekend breakfast treat (preferably eaten in bed, during a lie in) or an afternoon snack with a cup of tea.
I love that red juicy cranberry sauce peaking out the streusel topping. So inviting!
