I only gave this 4 stars because I didn't use the cranberry or orange zest. I used strawberries and a dash of lemon extract. The flavor of these muffins is great though and I most certainly will make them again. The recipe is basic that you can freely substitute many fruits! I love that it uses applesauce instead of oil, that helps lighten it up. Great recipe!
