Luv LUV luv these. Easy, HIGHLY fragrant, not too sweet. That's a complaint from some who have sweet-tooth. Not me, I love these.

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.

These are good. Don't really need anything changed or added. That said, I used dried cranberries and tossed in coconut. I used the coconut only because I needed to put it in something, and these sounded good. I really like them. Thanks!

These were really great. I followed the recipe exactly except I used 1 cup of dried cranberries and left out the nuts b/c I didn't have any on hand. They came out perfectly and not super sweet. I will definitely be making these again. Oh and for my oven the 25 minutes was just right.

So easy and delicious! I added cinnamon and nutmeg, and topped each muffin with about 1/8 tsp of a cinnamon/nutmeg/sugar mixture to balance the tart cranberries. Yum!

These turned out very nicely. I left out the nuts, and substituted finely ground wheat flour for the all-purpose. Overall these were a little more tart than I would have liked, but still very delicious.

Read the reviews and decided to try these using what changes others had recommended. They were okay, but really didn't have a lot of flavour. I used fresh cranberries and increased the cinnamon and added nutmeg, but still something was missing.
