    These are also really good with 1 tbsp. of fresh orange zest. I just put the cranberries in the microwave and cover them/cook until tender to avoid boiling water step. Once tender, coat with sweetener. (don't add to the other ingredients) This avoids any sour taste, but test/add sweetener to taste. - 3/14/10

    These are wonderful muffins. I substituted sugar free maple syrup for the vanilla syrup and made 12 larger muffins. Baked them for 25 mins. Very moist and surprisingly not overly sweet. Great for the low carb diet. - 3/29/09

    This is a phenomenal recipe. I'm four months into Atkins and trying to stay under 20 carbs per day. I've been pretty successful, but today I was really craving bread. These muffins were just what the doctor ordered! (for those with the cranberry/H2O question - any amount of H2O and yes, drain them - 2/13/10

    these are really good! I elliminated the spices and added raisins. My husband always asks me to make a new batch when they run out of them at work, they finally eat breakfast because of these, I have been keeping them stocked up for months, they never get sick of them, they love them! Thanks you!!!! - 5/28/12

    I liked them, too. Much better than other recipes I've tried. I used blueberries and maple syrup/light agave syrup. I'll try with total sugar free next time. Also baked for 27 minutes in my muffin stoneware. - 4/10/10

    These are great, I have made these plenty of times. I have substitutes cranberries with different berries, dice apples or what just plain with nuts. I have even used different flavor syrups. The sugar free carmel syrup is great. I also use less sugar. - 3/16/09

    I used unsweetened applesauce in place of the oil and they tasted great and were plenty moist. The next time I make them I am going to try sugar free maple syrup. - 1/9/16

    I did NOT like it with the cranberries, but I do LOVE this recipe. I have tried it many, many ways. With Comstock apple pie filling, (with all the syrupy stuff rinsed off and dried on paper towels then chopped). Fresh peeled diced apple, (1 small, about 4 oz cored and peeled) was better than the ca - 12/31/13

    This was good. I used frozen cranberries, chopped up, and covered them with boiling water as suggested in recipe. Then, however, I drained the water off and used just the cranberries in the recipe - holding the soaking water in reserve if I felt the need for more moisture. - 6/23/10

    I'm going to try making these soon - just a quick suggestion: many spice companies are now selling dried orange and/or lemon peel. I made some traditional cranberry muffins once with reconstituted orange peel - it was fantastic. Going to try it with this recipe as well. I get mine from Penzey's. - 2/23/14

    I do not know how much you are telling us to use on these two items:
    .25 cup olive oil Is this 1/4 cup?
    .5 cup Da Vinci's Vanilla sugar free syrup Is this 1/5 Cup?
    Thanks

    How much water are you using to pour over onto with the cranberries? Do you drain the water? Love cranberry orange muffins but this recipe is confusing. - 1/23/13

    I baked them this morning and just as the reviews stated, "they are delicous". Next time I will pay more attention to the cranberries; they were not sweet enough and a little bitter :-( - 2/23/10

    I would like to try a muffin with the whole cranberry rather than dried, but I don't want to wast a lot of ingredients when the question about the water wasn't answered. Also, could one use ground flax seed for the flax seed meal? - 1/22/10

    Yes, how much boiling water do you use? Do you drain the cranberries or something? - 12/4/09

    This is great. I did not have muffin tins (I really don't bake) so I poured it in a bread pan. It is so very tasty and would go great with a slice of cheese and a cup of afternoon tea. Thank you JNORMAN1969. I really have to control myself with this one. - 11/25/07
