I too LOVE cranberries and was disappointed to discover that they cannot be found year-round here in Oklahoma. So I buy extra between October and December and freeze them for year round use!!
I make muffins, of my own design. My daughter used to call them "Good for you Muffins" The recipe is:
1 1/3 c. flour
1 1/3 c. rolled oats
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon or fresh nutmeg
1 c. unsweetened applesauce
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. milk
1 egg
3 TBSP oil
2 tsp pure vanilla
zest of one navel orange
about 1 1/2 c. roughly chopped cranberries. (I keep frozen til I use them.)
about 1 c. walnuts, broken by hand (larger pieces)
Preheat oven to 375.
I grease and flour my muffin tins as well, as these do not have alot of fat in them.
Stir together dry ingredients and walnut in large bowl
Mix wet ingredients in smaller bowl with a whisk or fork.
Mix together and add cranberries at the end.
Bake for about 20 minutes.
These are chewy and dense, NOT like bakery muffins. They stick with you and are little bundles of complex carbs and anti-oxidants. Plus, they taste really good.
