    Add the milk and egg mixture to the flour mixture. Stir just until cominbined. DO NOT over mix the batter or the muffins will be tough when baked.
  • 5
    Evenly divide the cranberry mixture among the 12 well greased muffin cups and then evenly spoon the batter over the cranberry sauce. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, and then invert them onto a cooling rack so the cranberry topping is face up. Makes 12 regular sized muffins.
