Costco's New Bakery Muffin Is Bursting With Summer Flavor

Summer has a way of putting Costco runs into overdrive, whether you're stocking up before a beach trip, feeding a houseful of guests, or grabbing breakfast for the whole family before a long day outdoors. And the bakery department just gave us one more reason to stop by.

A Cranberry Orange Muffin has been added to the lineup. The flavor pairs sweet-tart cranberries with bright citrus notes, creating a bakery treat that feels especially fitting for summer.

At $6.99 for an eight-count pack, it's hard to beat. That works out to less than $1 per muffin, a fraction of what you'd pay at a coffee shop or bakery counter, where a single muffin can easily run $2 or more. Even a quick Dunkin' run adds up fast by comparison.

You can find them in the bakery department under item #1991810. Like all Costco bakery items, they're baked fresh in-store, making them a great grab for summer mornings, weekend brunches, and everything in between.

Costco's Cranberry Orange Muffins Are Made for Summer Mornings - and So Much More

The bright combination of tart cranberry and citrusy orange makes these muffins a natural fit for warm-weather entertaining.

While they're perfect alongside a morning cup of coffee, they're versatile enough to double as an easy summer dessert.

For a simple treat, slice the muffins in half, butter the cut sides, and grill them face down until golden. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a warm, caramelized dessert that's cool, bright, and refreshing all at once.

Prefer something a little more creative? Slice the muffins into cubes, toss them in melted butter, and toast them until golden for a sweet crouton-style topping that takes a bowl of ice cream to a whole new level.

At $6.99 for eight fresh-baked muffins, Costco's latest bakery addition is an easy way to bring a little extra flavor to summer breakfasts, brunches, and dessert.
