The muffins were a little dry and the cranberry sauce on top made a MESS of my cupcake pans. Don't think I would make this again but if I did, I would definitely mix the cranberry into the batter.

These turned out absolutely delicious. They are great to get rid of that extra cranberry sauce that you don't know what to do with. :o) Very moist!
