Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries for the best flavor and texture in your muffins. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • Chop the almonds finely before adding them to the batter. This will help distribute them evenly throughout the muffins and prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the muffins. This will help them rise evenly and prevent them from becoming dense.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
