Notes & Options:

There are lots of ways to modify these cranberry/blueberry muffins to spice them up, down or just change it to suit your palate. You can try:

– Using fresh cranberries is always best but they can be a bit tart which is why many people use dried cranberries in their recipes.

– Add some nuts to the batter give these muffins a satisfying crunch. I recommend walnuts or almond slivers.

– Frozen fruit works well here so if you are unable to get fresh berries at the grocery store, just move on over to the frozen aisle and make your life easier.

Make it Healthy – Replacing the sugar in the batter with granulated sweetener will ensure your muffins are sugar free and purely a starch food.
