These were very good and did rise nicely, not super huge, but certainly not flat! (I think it's important to heed the part of the recipe about stirring in the flour mixture 'just til moistened.') I'm not a big nutmeg fan, so used cinnamon with the sugar for the topping and only a dash of nutmeg in there. I didn't alter the batter at all, and the nutmeg flavor was just right...not too strong! They turned out very nice...moist inside and crunchy on top!

Followed the recipe exactly except I had not one bit of butter so I had to sub 1/4 cup butter flavored shortening and 1/4 cup veg. oil. I used fresh cranberries and these were very good! Highly recommend!

These were very good. I will definately make them again. I followed the recipe exactly with the following changes: Instead of 3/4 c.cranberries, I used 1/2 c. golden raisins, 1/2 c. cranberries, and 1 small apple chopped. I also added 3 tbs. milk. Be sure to plump your raisins in warm water for 5 minutes, then drain, before adding them to recipe.

These are delicious. I made these for a camping trip. I also added fresh pears to them. Doubled the recipe and made 12 jumbo muffins. They were gobbled up. Even the kids loved them.

These are delicious. This recipe made 12 regular & 12 mini muffins for me. I made slight changes such as: 50/50 white flour & wheat flour. I used CRAISINS (doubled the amount on this recipe) that I soaked in a cup of apple juice for an hour or so. I drained the apple juice before I added craisins to batter but I will not the next time & see what results I have. I also added 1 tsp of ground flax seed (I sneak that in every recipe!) 14 minutes for mini muffins 18 minutes for regular muffins Cant wait to see how well these freeze!

I made them just how the recipe reads and they turned out great. They had huge tops on them and look beautiful on a plate. Be sure your soda and baking powder are fresh and rising should not be a problem.

This recipe is rated 4 stars as is. If you make the changes I did, then I would rate it a 5 star. Instead of vanilla, I added 1 tsp of almond extract. I used dried cranberries, and increased it to 1 cup. I added about 2 tsp of orange zest. The muffins were very dry, so next time I'll add 2 tbsp to 1/4 cup milk to the batter. My changes make them awesome! NOTE: I have to update my comments. I made these again with fresh chopped cranberries and they were by far much better than with dried cranberries. Also, add just 1/2 tsp almond extract, a whole tsp is a bit much. And I will add even more orange zest the next time. I also recommend just cutting the cranberries in half and not chop them. This way you get the nice tart taste in each bite. But, use more cranberries, I used 1 cup and will increase that 1 1/2 cups the next time as well.

Wow! I HATE fresh cranberries. Kinda like the juice but that's all, and even then I want to mix it with apple or something. I purchased a bag of these little berries (which is how I discovered I hate them) and found this recipe. I made a couple of tweaks: plain yogurt instead of sour scream (didn't have any), pure orange extract instead of vanilla, 2/3 cup of the white flour was replaced with whole wheat, and I completely forgot to put the nutmeg and sugar on top. I just pulled them out of the oven and they are heaven!!! The kids and I already gobbled some up. It made 12 standard size and 20 minis. I don't agree at all that there's too much sugar in this recipe. Cranberries are TART, and while I agree they didn't rise (were flat and unattractive) they are NOT cake like--maybe because of the whole wheat flour. Now I know what to do with the rest of the cranberries.

I have to rerate this one. I rated it as a 4 last night after I ate one right out of the oven. I found the nutmeg overwhelming when the muffins were warm, but now, the next day, they are absolute PERFECTION! These are definitely in the top 5 muffins I've ever had. I was worried these wouldn't turn out because halfway into making them, I realized I was out of sour cream. I stirred in some milk until I got the batter to the right consistency, probably a little less than 1/2 a cup. I will definitely try these again using sour cream. They baked beautifully and I love the way the sugar on top looks. Thanks!

Hands down one of the best muffins I have ever made. I didn't think they were going to work, the batter was SUPER thick. But, they cooked up beautifully & the taste is so delicious. You need the sugar with cranberries. Next time, I'm trying blueberries & will cut back a bit on the sugar.

This recipie was so good! They taste like buttery, nutty, fall goodness wrapped up in a yummy little cake! I used crasins instead of fresh/frozen cranberries and they still turned out great.

Not one of the best muffin recipes I've tried. They were a little bit on the sweet side and did not rise to a nice round crown on the top. That said, if you like a cupcake-type muffin, these do taste very good.
