Thanksgiving Breakfast Cranberry Muffins Recipe


Thanksgiving Breakfast Cranberry Muffins Recipe
These were lovely, the best muffins I've ever made of any kind, wonderful tart/sweet taste, neither doughy nor dry. You really have to like cranberries though! Recipe from Country magazine or Taste of Home, about 10 years ago.

  2. Heat oven to 375.
