  1. I took these out of the oven just a few minutes ago. Already, my sleepy heads are rousing out of bed to see what the delicious smell is all about. They have a wonderful light texture. I made the cranberry butter last night. Makes a wonderful sweet and a little tangy spread. Thanks for posting this one.
     
  2. Oh WOW! I made these for Thanksgiving breakfast and I'll tell you what, they were so delicious. Soft, tender muffins with the slight tartness of cranberries. Spread with the sweet cranberry butter. A perfect start to our day of thanks.
     
  3. I thought these would be a bit moister with the buttermilk - (double checked temperature and timing) - better with the cranberry butter which I was originally going to skip. Looked beautiful. Not bad, just not as amazing as I hoped.
     
  4. super yummy! definitely a 5 star recipe. however, i did have a slight problem pureeing the cranberries in my blender - ended up having to use my manual food chopper.
     
  5. I happened to find some frozen cranberries in my freezer and I had all the other ingredients so I made these muffins and I am so glad I did ~ they are fantastic! They have a very tender crumb and really go with any meal any time you have cranberries. They are easy to make, too. Thanks for posting a keeper!
