Cranberry Sauce Muffins
Check Out: Blueberry Muffin Recipe
This recipe is a good use of any leftover cranberry sauce from Christmas. I haven’t made muffins for a while so I thought I will make something from my leftover cranberries while the Christmas mood is still lingering. I use back my trusty blueberry muffins base recipe, but I half the sugar since the cranberry sauce is already sweet . The mild sweetness of the muffins complement the tartness of the cranberries very well. Forget about leftovers, I think I will make cranberry sauce just to bake these!
