Bran and Cranberry Buttermilk Muffins

Bran and Cranberry Buttermilk Muffins

These easy to make and inexpensive Bran and Cranberry Buttermilk Muffins take a traditional recipe and adds beautiful, dried cranberries.

Warmed just to the touch with a pat of butter, really there is nothing better. The sweet nuttiness is perfect alongside a cup of tea or a fresh berry smoothie for a quick breakfast.

If you do not have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own with millk and either vinegar or lemon juice. Take a 1 cup measuring cup and add a generous 1 tablespoon measure of vinegar or the lemon juice. Top the cup off with milk, stir gently and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Use in place of the buttermilk.

Note: I always use liners when I make muffins or cupcakes. Every time I have ever baked without them I have issues with getting them out of the tins.
