Notes
- Recipe Source: Delish
- Toss the fresh cranberries with all-purpose flour, then fold them into the batter. It helps to prevent cranberries from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- If using frozen cranberries, thaw and pat dry with kitchen towels. Then, toss with flour before adding them to the batter.
- Use either plain Greek yogurt or flavored ones for a different version.
