CRANBERRY NUT MUFFINS



Cranberry Nut Muffins image

These are incredibly moist muffins with crunchy edges that add a great texture contrast. The fresh cranberries give bright bursts of flavour to the not-too-sweet nutty batter. These muffins are a favourite at "Pastries a Go Go" in Decatur. Recipe was printed in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (May 2007). Notes: The trick to getting crunchy edges is to bake the muffins in a very hot oven (400°F). You will also get good, but cakier, results if you bake the muffins for 15-20 minutes in a 350°F oven.
