Reduced Fat Cranberry Cappuccino Muffins

I am baking for Self-Denial, which is the Salvation Army's annual fundraiser for our missionaries; and my way of helping is to bake something different each Monday. It was sent to me from the Ocean Spray Co. when I sent them comments on anther recipe I had tried recently that I found on their website@ www.oceanspray.ca.
