These muffins are so moist and fluffy. I think it's because of the buttermilk in the recipe.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have a bag of cranberries in my freezer and these muffins are a great way to use them up.

I'm allergic to oranges, so I substituted lemon juice and zest in this recipe. The muffins still turned out great!
