Cranberry Lemon Muffins
Cranberries are so underrated. Probably because a lot of people associate cranberries with the jelly stuff in the can. Fresh cranberries barely resemble their canned cousin. The fresh cranberries have such a beautiful vibrant color and tart bite.
Love the color!
Here, I used my peanut butter chocolate chip muffin recipe as the base but then paired fresh cranberries (well frozen) with a hint of lemon and crunchy pecans for a perfect muffin. My 5 year old gave them her seal of approval.
Do you have some cranberries hanging around from Christmas? Whip up a batch of these muffins for a snack everyone will love.

You are so right! I have no idea why, but I rarely use fresh cranberries. Which is silly, bc I LOVE them. I’ll make these the next time my friends come over to serve with coffee. PS ~ Great pictures! I especially love the one with the berries in the mixing bowl. Great lighting!!
too funny! i just posted a lemon cranberry muffin recipe today too.
so delicious!
Great minds think alike!
They look great. I’ll have to try them soon!
Let me know if you do! Thanks for stopping by.
