Northwoods Muffins

I love blueberry or cranberry muffins and adding wild rice sounded interesting. Muffins are also so easy to eat on the go! Berries can be fresh or frozen but do not thaw. Recipe from Taste of Home Baking Classics cookbook sent to me by mikekey, my spring 2009 cookbook swap partner.
