    1/2 cup chopped green onions
    1/4 tsp dried thyme
    1/4 tsp dried oregano
    1/4 tsp dried sage
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1 tbsp baking powder

Method:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, thyme, oregano and sage. Cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine both flours with baking powder, salt and cayenne. Stir in cranberries and cheese. Set aside.
In a second bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Add green onion mixture, including all of the oil, and whisk well.
Fold the flour mixture into the egg and milk mixture, stirring until just combined. Scoop batter into lightly greased muffin tins.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before taking muffins out of the tin.
