Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 boxes blueberry muffin mix
2 cups of white cranberry juice
2 cans of red cranberries
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 1/2 cups of toasted coconut
1 egg

Steps:

In a large bowl mix both boxes of muffin mix and all ingredients (not using blueberries in this recipe so remove them and use for another recipe if wanted or discard). Pour batter into cans or other containers filling half way. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until a testing skewer comes out clean. Decorate cans if desired or serve in different containers.

Tips:

Ensure your cranberries are fresh and plump. Avoid any soft or bruised ones.
If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen ones. Just thaw them before using.
Make sure to use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor. Imitation vanilla will not give you the same results.
Don't overfill the muffin tins, as the cakes will rise during baking.
If you like, you can top the cakes with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
