Chocolate chip cranberry muffins are soft, tender, and bursting with flavor! They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or snacking, especially during the holidays.
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 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.

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.
