I really like fresh cranberries they are so much better than the canned berry sauces. For some reason I never thought of them being used in a muffin recipe. I was running out of treats to go with my coffee so when I saw this Cranberry Muffins Recipe I thought I would give it a try. Cranberries are kind of sour; I wasn’t sure if the sweetness of the batter would incorporate into them or not. As it turned out, the cranberries blended very well with the other muffin ingredients. These muffins have a nice moist texture and are very good, and the color for the holidays, doesn’t get much better. I prepared the recipe as written. This is a very simple recipe. It takes very little time to put it together so you can have hot Cranberry Muffins on the table in about half an hour. Enjoy
