In reply to Dottie. Hi Dottie! While I haven't tried it, I think you could make the sourdough blueberry muffins and just substitute cranberries. :)

I love all your recipes but wonder how I could use this recipe using sourdough starter ~~ similar to your delicious sourdough blueberry muffins which are out of this world delicious ~~ as I only bake muffins that are made with sourdough discard ~~ thank you so much for all your wonderful recipes!

I go to a coffee shop that used to make these muffins, they were so good…. Well they stopped making them so I had to find a way to recreate at home. I came across this recipe and have made them at least three times since I found it. The muffins are perfect and they are actually BETTER than the ones at the coffee shop. Love this recipe SO MUCH! And to make it even better, they are easy to make. Thanks so much for the perfect recipe. I’m excited to try different combinations. Cranberry white chocolate though… such a great combo.

Hi Sam! My daughter requested cranberry orange muffins for Christmas Eve breakfast. I knew I wanted to try your recipe and they were spectacular! So moist and great cranberry orange flavor. Isabella loves them and said they were far better than the ones she used to enjoy at the dining hall at Boston College. My husband liked that they weren’t too sweet and noted the great infused orange flavor from the orange zest. This is now a classic family recipe. Thank You So Much~ Happy New Year!

I bought a Costco size bag of cranberries for cranberry sauce and I had just enough left over to make these muffins and I’m so glad I did! I didn’t have salt or baking powder, I just moved, so I used salted butter and baking soda and thankfully they still turned out great. The white chocolate bar was so much better than chips.
Thank you for this recipe!

In reply to Jody. Hi Jody! You only need the 1/3 cup of buttermilk.

In reply to Mary.

I just saw the review saying to use 1/2 cup buttermilk but I already made the muffins using 1/3 cup as the recipe states.
was it supposed to be 1/2 cup? I did find the batter really thick and thought something was off.
I wish I added orange or lemon zest to improve the flavour. They were just ok for me, I wouldn’t say great. I probably won’t use this recipe next time.

In reply to Mary. Hi Mary! Thank you for catching that and I apologize for the confusion! The metric measurement is correct and you will only need 1/2c of buttermilk or 118ml. I will make sure to update it. :)

I’ve been making these for years using your original recipe…they’re fabulous! I’m curious though – the new recipe calls for 1 cup buttermilk, but the metric listing (118ml) is only the equivalent of a half cup. The old recipe called for 3/4 cup, so I’m wondering which measurement is correct after your edits? 50/50 odds are never in my favor and I’m a stickler about weighing ingredients! 🤣 Thanks for all the amazing recipes!

These cranberry muffins were absolutely delightful! They are moist, lightly sweetened, and as light as air. We love how the cranberries burst with every bite. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful dessert! We plan to make them again for Christmas breakfast.

I made these and found them to be better the next day, after the glaze soaked in. Very moist and so delicious! Thanks for sharing!

In reply to Jen. Hi Jen! You can substitute 3/4 dried cranberries in place of the frozen. We hope you love them!

I am struggling to find frozen cranberries. Is there anything else that can be substituted? I’m thinking probably not since cranberries are kind of tart and the white chocolate probably helps to sweeten up that tartness. Just wondering what your thoughts are.

In reply to wendy. Hi Wendy. We haven't tried this, but your muffins likely won't be as fluffy or rise the same without that extra egg white. We suggest using it. Cornstarch is our favorite "secret" ingredient in baked goods. It adds structure and fluffiness without drying things out, which would happen if you used more flour instead. This recipe is one of our older ones, and we may include corn starch in the updated version when that comes out!

Hi..I’m going to try these muffins later as I was given a load of shaved white chocolate and always have frozen cranberries on hand…can I get away with one egg only,no white??
Also I saw cornstarch comments…why do you ad that to other recipes? Thanks.

Hi. I found your recipe and didn’t have any fresh or frozen cranberries but I did have dried. I soaked the dried ones in hot water to plump them up and to my delight the muffins baked up lovely. These are now my husbands favorite muffins. I would like to make them with fresh cranberries and I will when I buy some. Thank you for this recipe.Delicious!!

Hi Sam! I was wondering if I could substitute the cranberries for raspberries and all the ingredients and measurements still work well together? Thanks in advance!
