Notes & Options:

There are lots of ways to modify these cranberry/walnut 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 different types of nuts to the batter to give these muffins a satisfying crunch. I recommend walnuts or almond slivers.

– Try some lemon extract to give the muffins a boost of flavor – about 1 tsp.

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