Time 28m

Yield 22 Muffins, 22 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

3 cups all-bran cereal
2 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 (15 ounce) box krusteaz fat-free orange cranberry muffin mix

Steps:

(Krusteaz mixes are on the cake mix aisle, the 15 oz is approx, I do not have a box on hand and just guessed for the recipe).
Soak the All Bran Cereal in the water for 5 minutes.
Spray muffin tins with Pam.
Add the baking powder and the muffin mix to the cereal and mix well.
Batter will be thick.
Drain the can of cranberries and add the berries to the mix.
Drop into muffin tins.
Bake at 400 degrees for 16-18 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
(Use ONLY the FAT FREE Krusteaz mixes with this recipe- for some reason the regular mixes dont taste as well- they have the orange cranberry, Apple Cinnamon and Blueberry- the blueberry is just as good as the orange cranberry, I have not tried apple cinnam).

Tips:

Use fresh or frozen cranberries for the best flavor.
If you don't have a muffin pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish.
To make gluten-free muffins, use a gluten-free flour blend.
For a sweeter muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar.
For a more tart muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup of lemon juice.
Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with turbinado sugar before baking for a sparkly crust.
Serve the muffins warm with butter or cream cheese.

Conclusion:

These easy cranberry muffins are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover cranberries. With their moist and fluffy texture, bright cranberry flavor, and crunchy sugar topping, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
