New England Cranberry Muffins

Quick and Easy Homemade Cranberry Muffins

A friend of mine from Massachusetts visited and gifted me with her newly-baked cranberry muffins — it was so delicious! She says that in New England they enjoy cranberries almost all year round.  I found this article by National Geographic and you can see a photo of workers preparing the cranberries in the bog. The colors are so vibrant that you’d want to pluck them out of the water and pop them in your mouth. It’s also an Instagram-worthy pic, if you ask me.

She was nice enough to share with me her recipe for New England’s famous cranberry muffins so I baked my own batch. This gives me another idea for gifts. Now, I’m gonna bake these muffins, too, instead of just cookies. What I love about making these muffins is that they are so easy! You can also substitute the cranberries with blueberries. You can also use canned cranberries if you don’t have fresh ones, but of course, fresh berries are juicier.

Come to think of it, this gave me another idea for a weekend bonding activity with my niece. I feel bad because my niece has been calling me asking when we will have our baking session again. I think that she will enjoy making these cranberry muffins over the weekend. She can even give them as gifts to her friends. Now, that’s a great idea, don’t you think?

Anyway, I hope you will love making these delicious cranberry muffins as well as eating them. Don’t forget to share this easy muffin recipe with your friends, too!
