These are nice, tasty muffins. Not heavy at all. I threw in some flax seeds and also used about double the cranberries (frozen) because I love the sour tang they give each bite. I may try these again with applesauce instead of the oil and see how they come out, sometimes applesauce changes the texture a bit. This recipe is a keeper for sure!!

Wonderful muffins, DH loved them and they don't taste lite, they are wonderful. I like, Miss Annie, used egg beaters, applesauce and extra cranberries. Yummy! Thanks for posting!

Nice flavor! I used whole wheat pastry flour for the all purpose and soy milk instead of skim. I omitted the lemon rind because I didn't have any, and used frozen cranberries. Good taste. I also used a few more cranberries then called for because I was finishing up a bag. Certainly the recipe I will come back to when I need to use up more frozen cranberries!

Oh my!!! What a great muffin! I made them for a quick breakfast I can grab on the way out the door and eat in the car and they went fast! I think I blew the diet part by having four at one time with loads of butter... Great flavor and next time I'll try adding some blueberries.

These are terrific muffins if you like cranberries. I made a couple of substitutions, applesauce for the 1/4 cup oil, egg beaters for the egg, no salt (I'm salt sensitive) and added 1/2 extra cup of cranberries (just because I like them). I will definatly make them again.
