Lazy weekend mornings are made for muffins and cups of tea. Make those early hours extra special with muffins that boast hints of citrus and bursts of juicy cranberries. To be certain everyone in your household can partake in the deliciousness, bake your muffins with gluten-free millet flour, vegan chia “eggs” and coconut oil in place of butter. Or, save them all for yourself. We won’t judge you.
