"This cranberry muffin recipe was handed down to me from my Swedish mother and grandmother, who liked using cardamom in almost anything! You'll enjoy the light cake-like texture."

This is a great recipe with just the right amount of sugar to complement the tartness of the cranberries, and the sour cream makes it moist. I would add more cardamom, but that is personal preference--it adds a such a nice warm spiciness. I added some orange extract, and made it even better! Thank you for sharing, Linda!

The best muffins I have made so far! Just the right amount of everything. I only cut down the sugar a bit to match our tastes. My toddler and his friends just loved it!!!Thank you Linda!

I love these! I couldn't find fresh or frozen cranberries so I used frozen blueberries. Cut the recipe in half but used all of the cardamom. The batter was really thick and I almost added some milk but decided to go for it. I'm glad I did but the blueberries fell apart while trying to stir. Next time I will search out cranberries. I am sure the hold together better. Even though they are blue these muffins are very moist & full of flavor. Thanks!

I love them....I used the orange flavored crasins the second time just to see how it tasted and OMG they were so good. Even the kids eat them up (with or without the orange crasins)

I cut the recipe in half and used one whole orange, which I liked. I prefer sweeter muffins, so I sprinkled a sugar and cardamom combination on top, which I believe made the muffin even better. I was able to easily veganize this recipe too, using Toffuti sour cream and soy vanilla yogurt as my egg substitute, in addition to soy butter.

the batter on these is REALLY THICK! they cooked up beautifully & rose very high. i only had 1 1/2 cups of sour cream, so i added 1/2 cup plain, full fat yogurt. also, i added a bit more frozen cranberries, which i chopped up a bit with a food processor. to make them a little healthier, i replaced 1 1/2 cups of the flour with whole wheat. and to give them more flavor, i doubled the cardamom and added the zest from one orange. Delicious! my 16-month old can't get enough! Thanks for the great recipe!

These are really delicious. I tasted one when they first came out of the oven, but wasn't too impressed. I think they need to sit for a little bit to let all the flavors meld. After a few hours you could really taste the cardamom, and they were so yummy. I cut the recipe in half, doulbed the cardamom, and used part whole wheat pastry flour. I also used one full cup of cranberries. After they were cooled, I made a simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk and dipped the tops into that. These looked beautiful and rose high, too.

The flavor of these is good, but they really flatten out when I make them.
