Cranberry Sauce Muffins for #CranberryWeek


Christie from A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures invited some fellow bloggers to join her for a week long event to celebrate the beautiful cranberry! We'll be bringing you tons of amazing and delicious recipe ideas through Friday. From appetizers, to sides, to desserts, to entrees - we have you covered if you're craving something cranberry.


These muffins are easy to throw together, and a tasty and hearty way to use up some leftover cranberry sauce after the Holidays. The cranberry adds some color and a touch of flavor, and definitely some moisture to these lovely muffins. 

They aren't overly sweet at all, have a wonderful texture with the addition of the oatmeal and make a great breakfast muffin, or afternoon snack. They're perfect with a cup of tea in the morning! 

Come take a look at all the #CranberryWeek recipes we're sharing with you today:
