    I used only 2 cups of fresh cranberries and the muffins turned out great! I also baked some in miniature loaf pans and gave them as Christmas gifts. - 1/2/08

    Very Healthy ! I used sugar instead of splenda as well. I would reccommend 2 cups of cranberries instead of 3 as I found 3 cups was too many and quite sour. Delicious ! - 6/26/07

    These are excellent muffins. I used all orange juice instead of the water and I also used 1 whole egg. - 3/28/10

    I made these with blueberries and they were ok. I would use orange juice next time instead of so much water. The only bad thing is that I made them Friday, by Monday they were already molding, so you must keep them in the fridge or freezer - 5/26/08

    I'll definitely try these with the Splenda. Thank you for sharing. They sound delightful. Sorry you had to hear everyone's opinions on using Splenda... this is not really the place to do it. - 6/12/07

    These muffins are so pretty and VERY good. I used 1.5 cups OJ and next time I think I'll add a bit more Splenda. Going to make some great Christmas goodies! - 11/27/07

    Used regular flour and all OJ. 3 cups Cranberries made it too tart. Mine took considerably longer than 20 minutes to bake. I used my large muffin pans for 12 muffins. Can't imagine using regular cupcake size pans. Good use for all those cranberries in my freezer! - 5/3/13

    Very good and healthy. Next time, I will use 2C instead of 3C of cranberries because there were probably too many cranberries and I will just buy OJ instead of squeezing my own. Definitely, I'll make these again. - 1/19/11

    This recipe tastes great, and I just love it. Try to keep some in freezer. I like using dried aprcots also, although this does increase carb content a little. Am going to try fresh blueberries in next batch. - 6/22/07

    We do need fat in our diet. Egg yolk provides fat, and also many other nutrients. I would use a whole egg instead of only egg whites.

    Orange cranberry muffins have always been my favorite ones at McDonalds. After making these last week, no more McDonalds. This recipe is more more tasty and I used fresh cranberries and they turned out great. I am planning to make another batch tomorrow since I am going to a nursing home to share - 12/11/17
