So, get baking and make this easy and delicious Cranberry and Orange Buttermilk Breakfast Crumb Cake!

Notes: This recipe is essentially a buttermilk blueberry breakfast cake recipe with cranberries swapped for the blueberries.

I’ve increased the sugar to 1 cup (from 7/8 cup) because cranberries are a bit tart and substituted orange zest for the lemon zest. If you don’t like cranberries, many have had luck with frozen blueberries. Also, this batter can be prepared the night before.

Don’t store it in the pan you plan on baking it in. Store it in Tupperware of some sort, then transfer it to a greased pan in the morning.
