Very good muffins! I used buttermilk. I got 11 nice size muffins using a large scoop, they baked up in 13 minutes. I soaked the dried cranberries for 5 minutes in boiling water and drained well before adding them to the batter. These muffins are just the right sweetness for us, this is one that we will be making again. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

I am forever on the search for new and exciting low fat recipes. My husband is not quite adventurous as I am so this proves to be a challenge! I love trying new things, but I always seem to do it when having company or taking it to someones home! So far, no major disasters. My two favourite cookbooks are LooneySpoons and Crazy Plates. Close in second is the Fat Free Living series by Jyl Stienback. I also like to read cookbooks like novels and am forever checking them out of the local library!
