This were very good though I dont have much to compare with since this was the 1st time baking muffins at home. I used ocean spray craisins so I actually used 2 cups of dried cranberries. I also used zest from a whole orange used orange juice from the orange then added another cup of orange juice I figured that since I was using dried and not fresh cranberries the mix would be dry so added the orange juice the final product was really good both my husband and I really enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I will be making this again and they'll make it to my recipe book.

Loved these muffins, but mine were a little dry. Maybe because I used 1/4 c. melted butter instead of veg. oil? I also used 1 1/2 c. Craisens instead of fresh cranberries. (my husband liked them warm with butter :)

I doubled this recipe, and used 1/2 cup more sugar. I also used Ocean Spray Crasins instead of fresh. My family and i really enjoyed them. :)

I am so disappointed in this recipe! I made some of the alterations other suggested - I used 1/3 cup brown sugar and added 1 cup of walnuts. They smelled delicious cooking. They're not bad, but they are not sweet at all. There doesn't seem to be much flavor, except for the bitterness of orange zest (I will definitely cut that in half if I make these again) and the tart of cranberry when you get a chopped piece. Overall, very disappointing.

I made these for my family and they loved them. The only changes in the recipe was I used pure coconut oil in place of vegetable oil. I also put in a small ripe banana for added moisture and sweetness; not to mention I made it in cake and bar form instead of muffins and adjusted the timing and temperature. They freeze well and have a nice fresh taste after thawing.

These were good, but with my sweet tooth, I feel that they needed a little more sugar. My cranberries were so tart that the 1/4 cup of sugar wasn't enough. I did enjoy the orange flavor in these.

I liked this recipe with a few changes. As suggested, I added a 1/4 cup brown sugar, instead of 1/4 oil, I added 1/3 cup oil, plus 2 tbs, a 1 tsp orange extract. i reduced the orange juice to 3/4, and added 1/4 sour cream to make up for it. I also threw in some nuts, and a drizzle of cranberry sauce to the batter. I loved it! They were crispy on the outside, warm and moist on the inside!
