I am always on the lookout for a great muffin recipe. I love having them in the freezer for speedy breakfasts and snacks. I had some cranberries that I needed to use up, so I searched online for recipes. Found this one at Real Mom Kitchen. I loved the tartness of the cranberries with the chocolate.
My boys aren’t fond of cranberries, so I chopped them up really fine so they wouldn’t complain as much. They would be prettier with larger chunks of berries I’m sure, but a mom’s gotta do what a mom’s gotta do. 🙂

I really like the taste of CHOCOLATE, thank you very much!
Glad you liked them. You can’t go wrong with adding chocolate in my book!
These muffins were such a hit… They were requested. I modified it even more. I used more healthier ingredients. Plus subbed out some of the. Ap with Quinoa n coconut flour…besides that they make great cannibus muffins???????? It’s still the same recipe. I just tweeked it to my preference.
I used the dry cranberries…and they are very moist. I also modified some ingredients…which is very possible that made them moist. They turned out very delicious.
Thanks so much for letting me know that they worked with the dry cranberries. I know my other readers will appreciate the tip!
Would this recipe work well with dried cranberries?
The fresh berries add moisture to the batter, so they might be a little dry, but you could certainly try it!
When are the chocolate chips added? I don’t see that in the directions.
Dang, I forgot that part of the instructions. You add them with the cranberries. Thanks for pointing it out, I’ve fixed it now! 🙂
