I ended up making a sour cream cake. I doubled everything but the flour and substituted 1 1/2 c of sour cream instead of buttermilk. Added a teaspoon of both vanilla and orange extracts. I only had 1 1/2 cups of whole cranberry sauce left over which was already processed with juice and zest of one orange. I put into greased and floured 9x13 pan and baked it for 35 min @ 350 degree oven. Frosted it with cream cheese frosting and chopped pecans.

I loved these very easy to make muffins and will definately make them often! I doubled the recipie so I could use the whole can of whole cranberry sauce,I used diluted sour cream in place of buttermilk because that is what I had on hand.I baked them for 20 min.@ 375 and that was a perfect temp. for my oven.I got 24 muffins and I used an oiled icecream scoop which makes them a uniform size.Thanks so much for posting ...they are yummy!

delicious very easy to make. used a whole can of sauce by mistake but maybe the fact i used powdered buttermilk and slightly less water saved my mistake.i also used half a cup of wholemeal to replace the white flour. these tasted fantastic straight out of the oven unlike some muffins. a worth while was to that extra cranberry sauce!1 thankyou for such a great simple recipe. made 18 muffins with this so good value for money!
