For an extra touch of warmth, consider adding a pinch of cardamom or allspice to the dry ingredients. If you prefer a more pronounced cranberry flavor, use dried cranberries instead of fresh. Soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before adding them to the batter. These muffins freeze well. Allow them to cool completely before wrapping them individually in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer-safe bag.

Sep 15, 2024I found the muffins to be a little dry. Next time, I'll add a tablespoon or two of applesauce to the batter.
