These were pretty good. I was pleased with the texture of muffins made with more applesauce than oil, since applesauce usually changes the texture to more spongy. I don't usually go more than 50/50 applesauce/oil (or butter), when trying to lower fat in recipes, but this recipe was a pleasant surprise in that area. That said, I did feel that the cranberries (fresh) tartness was very strong for this muffin, so I would suggest (& I'll try this next time I make them) is either using dried, or tossing your fresh berries w/ a bit of stevia/sugar/whatever sweetener you use, and letting that sit while you prep the rest of the batter. That should bring out the sweetness a bit more. I also think next time I'd add and extract (like orange/vanilla). I also used part white whole wheat flour in this recipe with no problems in texture/taste.

These are fantastic. Unfortunatly I cant find either fresh or frozen cranberries at this time of year so I used a frozen mixed berry mix with raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and blackberries. I used half light brown sugar and half with. All I had was cinnamon applesauce so I just used it instead of plain and I did keep the added cinnamon in the batch because in my house we love cinnamon. These were dense which I know is from the applesause but very good. I cant wait to try them with fresh cranberries.

I used blueberries and cranberries - mostly whole wheat flour and a bit extra baking soda. They are great but missing something - maybe I added too much whole wheat flour - so I dipped the cooled muffins into lemon juice and then into sugar....now they are marvelously sweet and perfect.

WOW. These muffins are great! I used Craisins and Walnuts as substitutes (didn't have fresh cranberries or pecans) and they were still SO good. We'll definitely make them again the same way.

I made these for a wedding shower. They were VERY good, but also very dry. Next time I will add more applesauce.

Great recipe! I had to add a some milk and extra oil because my batter turned out a little thick. Possibly because I used homemade applesauce that didn't have enough liquid to it. I also used dried cranberries instead of fresh/frozen. I think they had the perfect amount of sweetness. If you have a sweet tooth you could add icing to the top, but I had mine with butter and they were delicious!

These came out perfect for me. Very delicious. I followed the advice of others and used 1 1/4 c. applesauce but used the full 1/3 c. oil. I also added 1/2 c. finely chopped dried cranberries instead of fresh. (Since I don't care for the texture of nuts in my muffins but like the flavor of the nuts I also added 1/4 very finely ground walnuts.)

These are delicious! I used 1/2 cup dried cranberries since they are not in season right now. I also followed suit of other reviewers and used 1 1/4 cup applesauce, 1/4 cup oil (I used olive) and 1 1/2 tsp baking soda. I made them mini muffins and they were great!

I love these muffins, I make 'em all winter...here's a tip to make things go faster....I use 2 cups of Jiffy baking mix, and omit the salt and baking soda. Use dried cranberries, you can always have them on hand, add a teaspoon or so of veg. oil for moistness.

The muffins are great. I used what I had on hand using homemade whole berry cranberry sauce and applesauce and using walnuts. Everything else is the same. Might add vanilla next time just to try it. Yummy for breakfast or anytime.

I have not made these yet but they sound really good! I can't wait to make them. As for the previous reviewer, my reveiw of your comment is who cares if people spell definitely wrong?? I thought your comment was mean. And as I looked back on the reviews of this recipe, many people used the word definitely, but ONLY one person spelled it wrong. I do think you should chill out...life is short!

I really enjoyed these muffins! I usually find muffins too sweet and these are just perfect. If you prefer a sweeter muffin, you may want to add raw sugar to the muffin tops or more sugar to the recipe itself. I used walnuts instead of pecans as that's what I had on hand. To my horror, I discovered that I was out of baking soda, so I substituted 2 tsp baking powder.

My family loved these muffins. I made a couple of changes: I substituted canned whole cranberries for the oil and instead of the nuts I added chocolate chips. It had a wonderful texture and the chocolate mixed with the cranberries tasted yummy.
