I made the cranberry muffins last night with cranberries from the freezer... they were easy and yummy! I used fresh squeezed orange juice from a couple oranges I had in the fridge, and the batter smelled so good, but it did lose the orange flavor after baking. I'm sure they would be good with some orange extract or zest, cranberry goes so well with orange.
The only other change I made was to use 1 c white flour, 1 c whole wheat flour and 1/4 c flax meal, since these were to be nutritiously kid-friendly. I upped the baking powder to 2 full tsp and they rose quite nicely, plenty fluffy and moist! They weren't very sweet, but they were perfect for us. You might consider adding a 1/4 c of sugar if you like a more dessert-like muffin.
I think there is something a little wrong with me... I have gotten to where a muffin looks naked if I don't top it with something! So these got a sprinkle of oats just to look nice :)
