MuffinMonday: Cranberry Coffee Cake Muffin

I can’t believe that we’re two months away from 2013. Seems like only yesterday I started 2012, moved to SF, got married (woohoo!), started blogging, and now 2012 is almost over. So many things have changed, especially when I decided to blog and joined the foodie networks. Our kitchen and fridge are always full of yummy goodness, the oven works really hard and always make me proud with the results, and the dirty dishes keep piling up each time I’ve had fun in the kitchen. I learned so many new things – recipes and ingredients that I never pay attention before. One of them is cranberry, which I hesitant to give it a try in the beginning, but I’m glad I did. This muffin is so yummylicious with a bit tangy sweetness flavors. I honestly think streusel adds a bonus point on this muffin; however you can enjoy it without streusel.
