Cranberry White Chocolate Muffins

Loaded with white chocolate, dotted with cranberries and deliciously moist and sweet-tangy, these pretty muffins are the perfect holiday treat!

I have an overabundance of cranberries right now because it’s my favorite winter berry and so I tend to overbuy them when they’re in season. But I have no fear that they’d be wasted as I have at least about 17 cranberry recipes in this blog so I won’t run out of recipes to make use of them. However, I realized that I don’t have many muffin recipes using cranberries so decided to make another batch; this time pairing cranberries with white chocolate as I know it would make such a delicious combo – chocolaty with a contrast of fresh tangy/tart goodness from the berries. Oh, boy these muffins came out del

It was so good that my little girl, after she tried a couple (ok, it was more than that!!), told me, “Mom, if you make a cookbook, you should include this!” She totally loved these muffins and the rest of the family, too.



I would suggest using fresh cranberries if you can make them as the tartness/tanginess coming from the fruits give this such a delicious flavor especially in contrast with the white chocolate. Also, it’s not overly sweet but just right. The addition of yogurt (or sour cream) added some extra moisture and of course further depth of flavor, too. Hope you try these muffins before the fresh cranberries are gone!
