Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries: If using fresh cranberries, rinse them well and pat them dry before using. Frozen cranberries can be used without thawing.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing as they bake.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the muffins to firm up.

Conclusion:

These bran muffins with cranberries are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're packed with fiber, antioxidants, and whole grains, and they're naturally sweetened with honey. Plus, they're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or snack, give these bran muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
