What do I think about this recipe?
It is a house FAVORITE! Do I need to say more?
The muffins are moist just right. It has an earthy taste and texture. The cranberries add a soft aspect to the muffin with a soft crunch from the walnuts.

Tips
- If you make it has a bread, bake it for 50-55 minutes or so.
- To chopped the walnuts, I put them in a small zipblock bag, zip it, and hammer the half walnuts until I like it. It is simple, easy and no mess.
- To pour the batter in the muffin holders, I use an ice cream scooper.
