A perfect winter muffin

The Holiday are a perfect time to break out a fun new muffin for your family and friends and these muffins are definitely a treat.  Anytime The Hubby and I have family or friends stay with us I want to have a a special breakfast treat for them in the morning and muffins are a go to for me.  I love muffins because you can make a couple different varieties without much time or effort but they are filling and can look pretty impressive.  

For a special holiday treat I decided to bring together two of my favorites…cranberry and white chocolate.   I love this combo is pretty much anything such as these super easy shortbread cookies but these muffins are definitely a new favorite.  The muffin is a light and airy vanilla muffin that has a little buttery hint with vanilla without being overpowering.  You could definitely use this muffin recipe as a base and add in chocolate chips, another fruit (such as blueberries) to make even more muffins.  What I love about this cranberry white chocolate combo is the tartness of the cranberries really balance the sweetness of the chocolate making it a perfect bite…espsecially with a little extra butter smeared on it.

My mom called when I was working on these muffins and the next thing I know she was at my front door…and I just had to laugh.  My mom is a huge fan of anything dried cranberries and white chocolate and will even drive over just to try out my latest treat with her favorite combo.

Make mornings special with these tender muffins loaded a little tartness and sweetness in each bite.
