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.

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!
