Cranberry Muffins
There's an abundance of cranberries in our area during the fall, and this recipe is one of my favorite ways to use them. I've often given these fresh-baked muffins as a small gift to friends, and they're always well received. —Ronni Dufour, Lebanon, Connecticut

Just curious,.. can dried 'craisens' be used in these recipes? Thx
Fabulous recipe! Love the warm spices. Went over extremely well at work, not a crumb left. Will keep in rotation during the fall and winter months. And to Gretchen, my prep time was about the same even though I set up my mise en place. Just like you, i do everything by hand. As a matter of fact, I just made another TOH recipe that called for a 25 minute prep time. Took me 55 minutes. Worth it though, as all the people I feed, savor every bite. That's what counts.
Prep time for me was 1 1/2 hours. By the time I chopped those slippery little cranberries, zested the orange, squeezed fresh oranges and picked through the pecans I had shelled, I had 1 1/2 hour prep time. I increased sugar by 1/2 cup and wish I had increased by 3/4 cup. I made 11 muffins and one loaf Gretchen 11/8/19
I sprinkled the top of these with some coarse sugar and they disappeared almost immediately from a church Christmas breakfast!
These are so good!! I left out the pecans. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. I will definitely make them again.
Made these, delicious and moist, but made a few changes I added 1 cup of sour cream, used half cup brown sugar and half cup granulated sugar, sprinkled oatmeal on top just before baking!
Pretty good.
I love cranberry and orange flavors together. I followed the recipe exactly and the muffins turned out beautifully. They were everything a muffin should be, fluffy. spicy and delicious.
Followed recipe...Too much orange flavor...The worst part was the lack of a crown and no color. Won't make again without modifications. Moist and very flavorful. Not what I wanted, though.
My wife made a subtly different version based on this, read about it here. http://thenuclearfamily.blog.com/2012/11/10/fall-time-cranberry-muffins/
