How to Make Cranberry Muffins

How to Make Cranberry Muffins thumbnail
Muffins are surprisingly easy to remove from a muffin tin.

Muffin recipes can make use of all kinds of fruit, from apples to bananas to blueberries. Cranberries, however, offer a tangy bite that most other muffin ingredients can't approach. These berries are also packed with nutrients and antioxidants that any health-conscious baker can love. As such, light, fluffy cranberry muffins are a smart idea for breakfast, snack time or even dessert. Does this Spark an idea?
