Notes
- Nope! You can mix fresh ones right into the batter!
- I think fresh or frozen ones are best for this recipe, but you can use dried ones if you prefer. I would soak them in water first to rehydrate them. This will plump them up! If you just mix them in dry they will be chewier, like raisins.
- The will keep for a few days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator. Just keep them in an airtight container.
- Yes, they freeze great! Make sure they are fully cooled and then store them in a freezer-safe container or bag. They will keep up to three months.
- Are you ready to make a batch of these cream cheese cranberry muffins this weekend? You will love how easy and how delicious they are. They are perfect for brunch and breakfast!
